EA Infoport caches the contents of the repository – tree, element details, diagrams and other information. This can provide users with quick access to this content.
To ensure that the content in the cache is still up-to-date, EA Infoport has implemented a detection mechanism for changes made (both through the portal and through the EA tool itself.
If the user views a diagram and EA Infoport detects that the diagram is changed in the data, it displays its version from the cache (so that the user does not have to wait), renders the diagram in the background and then displays it instead of the cached one. Users are informed of each of these actions by means of a system message.
If users wish, they can always force the reloading of the tree (or its part), diagram or element detail directly from the data.
