I have an updatable dashboard that is deployed and in the menu as a dashboard assembly. In the past (on E9) if I made a change and re-deployed the dashboard we would have to clear each client’s cache in their C drive data folder and if we did not clear their cache the would get the error “Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation”
My question is: does this still have to be done or will regenerating the data model > recycling the IIS pool resolve this?
Please advise.
Thank you.

It still must be done. Alternatively, you can make a copy of the Dashboard and deploy that instead, pointing the menu at the new version. (we use stuff like PSDash01, PSDash02, PSDash03 etc as we go on).
Thank you,
In our situation that would be way easier. We have 40 + MES stations that use this dashboard.
I appreciate your help!

This sounded like a wonderful solution, however, we have a customization tied to the dashboard and it will not let me import the customization into the dashboard copy. There are several buttons with code attached, so a bit more work than I would like to see every time a change is requested.
Customizations can be copied over, you just have to change the references to match the new dashboard name. Most of our customization is done in the dashboard itself so we don’t have to do this, but we do have a few that need the customization to come along with it.
Thank you again

I thought I had this, but it didn’t work. How do you change the references to match the new dashboard name?
Please and thanks.

I usually export the customization, open it up with an XML editor and search for the old Dashboard name. Change all of those to the new dashboard name and save it. Then import the customization with a new name as well. Epicor doesn’t seem to have an easy method to do this directly.
Thank you Marjorie. This helps a great deal!
