JR51059: Promotion registry is not refreshed immediately after quick publish to production environment

7.0.0.9 for Developer Express
7.0.0.9 for Developer Professional
7.0.0.9 for Developer Enterprise
7.0.0-WS-WCServer-FP009

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During quick publish, as database changes on staging/authoring
  environment are directly being pushed over to production without
   going through stag-prop, entries are being created in the
  CACHEIVL table for every create, update, delete operation
  performed on tables.  Those entries in the CACHEIVL table
  represent the cache dependency ids that will need to be
  invalidated by the Dynacache Invalidation Job running on
  production.  However this invalidation process does not take
  place immediately right after quick publish completes.  There
  will be a delay since a thread would need to periodically wake
  up first and then runs the invalidation job for cache eviction.
  

Local fix

• USERS AFFECTED:
