As the new year finishes off and resolutions are being made, I figured this is a great post to end 2013 and start looking forward to 2014. Let’s start the new year with a fresh start by clearing out our caches.

Have you ever tried to start MXServer and for some reason the maximo login page doesn’t load? Or you get an error message after you try to deploy a new Maximo EAR file?

Is it safe to clear WAS cache before a JVM restart? is not this restricted to scenarios where I would redeploy the EAR files right after clearing the cache? how safe is it?
