Refresh vs. a Real Refresh

sdk development
1

Fearless BO developers:

I have a report that refreshes differently, depending upon how you refresh.
The Refresh on the toolbar does not get it done, but the Refresh in the
DataManager dialog does the job. Did I hear there is a patch for this?
Environment is BO 4.1.3 with Sybase.

To my understanding, this isn’t really a bug:

  • Toolbar Refresh button: refreshes the report based on the universe/SQL
    used last time it was run – changes made to the universe after the query
    was run last time will not be detected
  • DataManager/Query Panel Refresh button: will load the universe prior to
    running the query – any changes made to the universe will be taken into
    account

I believe what you say is true. Is there a way to implement the second type
(refresh universe) through OLE Automation. The method provided seems to be
the first.

 Try to load and unload the data provider prior to refresh in the
 script:

 DP.Load
 DP.Unload
 DP.Refresh

 That should do it...
