Error description

  • It is expected that dropping an object can be achieved by simply
    updating the YAML files and refreshing the policy cache.
    However, the object details are also stored in the
    AppsVirtualRepo. As a result, dropping the object requires
    removing its corresponding entry from the AppsVirtualRepo, which
    is not currently handled through YAML updates or policy cache
    refreshes.
    Solution : To address this issue, we are clearing the
    appVirtualRepository as part of the policy cache clearing
    process when the cache name is either application,
    applicationStatusReport, or not provided.
