Hi Harsha,

you need to us gs.cacheFlush() in script include [created in global scope] and call that script include from scoped app. That will clear the cache.

In the script call it like below

var SI = new global.cacheUtil().clearCache();

Script include

name - cacheUtil 

Accessible from - All application scopes

var cacheUtil = Class.create(); //(auto generated)
cacheUtil.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
  clearCache: function() {

    gs.cacheFlush();

  }
    },

});

Thanks,

In addition to the above response,  I would add a couple of recommendations here.

gs.cacheFlush() will clear cache globally for all the users not just for the currently logged in user. So it is recommended not to use in the script that will execute continuously i.e. BR, client scripts [glideAjax], etc.  Also, see Chuck Tomasi's response on the below thread to understand when and when not to clear the cache.
