Caching issue in Dynamics 365 Portals

Hi all,

I have (another) question about portal caching.

My client has a requirement of allowing authenticated users to download a JSON file with data from the CDS and trigger the browser's download window prompt (to the local Download folder)

So far I was able to generate the file using a Power Automate flow and store the JSON file as an (temporary) attachment in the Notes entity.

The issue I am facing is that the the Dynamics Portal does not retrieve the newly created/latest attachment file. Instead,the file either shows up empty or shows data the previous version. I can only get this to work if I refresh the portal cache on the (...About page) which is not a viable solution. I have enabled the Change tracking option on all the needed (custom) entities.

Are there alternatives to have the cache refreshed immediately (sooner then the SLA of 15 mins)? Or do you have suggestion how to create a JSON file on the fly with CDS data and immediately return it the to Portal page that the user is on (for downloading)?

Any help / suggestion would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Geron Profet
