Resolution

  • Click Refresh button when viewing the storty. It will return live data.
  • Decrease the property value of lde.sessiontimeout in boe.properties file of BOE Live Data Connect. The default value is 1200 (seconds).  When the session is timed out, the cache is cleared so you will get live data.
  • Set the charts, tables, and geomaps to automatically refresh in a story.  From Data section on the story toolbar main menu, select Refresh and then select Configure Auto Refresh. On the Configure Auto Refresh screen, select the Enable Auto Refresh option.  Enter a refresh interval and select the interval. The story will auto refresh with live data at the interval you set. Note: Auto Refresh will cause increased load to the server the data is hosted on.
