NetRefresh

HI
BT14.36  C11 ABC
I am starting to play with NetRefresh.  I have a case where user B is watching a NT BROWSE on table called  J_SRVREQ.  This Browse is set in NetRefresh Local Extension to Refresh table J_SRVREQ and sending J_SRVREQ.   
I have a client who INSERTS a record into table J_SRVREQ.  The client is set to Refresh J_SRVREQ.  Insert is done using the UPDATE for this table but it is called in code and not from the Browse.
I would think that anyone then watching J_SRVREQ with a NTBrowse which is open (user B) would see that a record was added and NetRefresh would kick in and REFRESH the NTBrowse on J_SRVREQ for any user that has this table open and is using NetRefresh.
However, after client creates a new record for J_SRVREQ, the NTBROWSE on J_SRVREQ is NOT UPDATING - I have to do a manual refresh to see the new inserted record.
What am I missing to tell the user B that the Browse needs to be refreshed when a record is added?

Thanks,
Ron

First thing would be to verify that you've got all the pieces of netrefresh working.

You could temporarily make a field on your browse EIP.  When you update the field, it should show on another browser.

Once that's working, read the section of the docs on triggering a refresh from the webserver (i.e., in handcode)  https://www.capesoft.com/docs/NetTalk14/NetTalkWebBasic.htm#NetRefresh

For example, for a browse using my umDischargeManagement table, after doing some processing I have

Code: [Select]

p_web.SetTableValue('umDischargeManagement',today() & '-' &clock())

Hi Jane,
Thanks for that.  I saw that but the templates seem to suggest that they will write that code to trigger refresh when you identify the File for Refresh. I will give that manual entry a try.
