How do I delete personalizations for portal users? (Deleting User Homepage Cache)


It is possible to delete cache while a server is online. For example:
http://cit-srv-one:8020/psp/ps/EMPLOYEE/QE_LOCAL/c/WEB_PROFILE.WEB_PROFILE.GBL?cmd=purge&pwd=dayoff

The command to purge purges the webserver cache. The password dayoff is
an example. You would need the webserver's configured audit password
here.
