User-Defined Table Data Refresh Cache Action
The Vista user-defined table data refresh cache action enables pulling data from Vista user-defined (UD) tables into the App Xchange cache. The most common way to use this connection action is within a schedule. Scheduling a refresh cache action ensures up-to-date data for other flows that reference the cached data.
To use the refresh cache action in a flow, add a new step to your flow. Select the Connector Action type. In the Step Detail section, select Vista for the connector and User Defined Tables > User Defined Tables Data - Refresh Cache v2 for the action path. When this flow step runs, it refreshes the App Xchange cache with your specified Vista UD table data. This enables other flows referencing the cache data to easily access up-to-date data from UD tables of interest.
