apex.submit does not cause Interactive Grid refresh

Question

On my page I am calling apex.submit("PROCESS1") from javascript. It executes the code of PROCESS1 process but the IG I have on the page does not get refreshed. After PROCESS1 executes I see the unchanged data in the grid and it only changes after I manually refresh the page. My understanding was that submit should refresh the IG on the page. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I wasn't able to reproduce the behaviour you described. I created an IG on the emp table and a button with name "PROCESS".

• I opened the page with the IG
• In a separate SQL Commands window I updated a single row in the emp table.
• Then in the IG page, in the chrome dev tools console, I executed

apex.submit("PROCESS")

The page refreshes and the IG re-renders and shows the updated data. This is on 22.2.

Answer 2

Have you considered something like this, to explicitly tell it to A)lways refresh?

apex.submit( {
    request: "PROCESS1",
    reloadOnSubmit: "A",
} );
