Oracle EBS: How To Clear The Caches Using Functional Administrator

Oracle Caching framework allows to clear the caches in mid-tiers. Caching Framework comes with an administration user interface, which is available under the Functional Administrator responsibility.

When the changes in configurations, profile options are not reflected in the UI or OA framework pages are seen dark blue, clearing caches comes handy.

Clearing caches could lead to loss of transaction data for the actively engaged users during the cache clearance. Use this feature only during off business hours or when users are notified.
