Cache problem with Scene Layer in AGOL

Question

Hi,

I have published a Scene Layer to AGOL with Pro 2.7. The scene layer is a multipatch layer of buildings. The buildings are using a simple plain white texture.

I have published the scene layer with the same name of a previous scene layer that I had previously deleted from AGOL.

Now when I open the scene layer in the scene viewer, I still see some of the old scene layer buildings, wich was using an orange texture. Also, some buildings are just missing.

However, if I open the scene layer using the private mode of my browser, the orange buildings are not visible and the scene layer is displayed correctly.

The scene layer in scene viewer (normal browser mode)

The same scene layer in the scene viewer (private browser mode)

I have rebuild the cache of the scene layer but that does not solve the problem. The cache seems to be in the browser.

Is there any solution for this?

Thank you!

Hi @NicolasGIS ,

Have you tried the Replace Layer tool from the item overview page? I don't think this option was available when I originally posted this message. Perhaps this is the solution. There is probably an API for this tool as well.

Hi @MaximeDemers,

Facing the same issue.

What is interesting is that it is not solely the sceneLayer URL but there is also a version in it: /services/BatimentHauteur_MP/SceneServers/layers/0/v19/14

Not sure if this was supposed to avoid the problem we are facing.

Same issue here.

We published it with the same name not to break other applications consumming it but now at small scales we have this kind of artefact for an integratedMeshLayer:

Problem is that clearing the indexedDB is not the kind of workflow you want to tell to your users...
