Sitecore Commerce Connect > Refreshing a Cache via code

Question

I am trying to update the commerce catalog from external source. After the incremental update I need to have fresh data in Sitecore tree(data provider should return correct data instead of old(cached) ones). However, if I go to Sitecore right after the data import I can see only the old data till I click on "Refresh Catalog Cache" button in Sitecore Commerce menu.

I found the same info in the documentation for Sitecore Commerce Connect, however I can't find any example how to clean cache via code.

I found several types in "Sitecore.Commerce.Connect.CommerceServer.Caching" namespace. For example, CacheRefresh static class. It has RefreshCatalogCaches method which needs ICommerceServerContextManager contextManager as input parameter. If I create contextManager just using constructor new CommerceServerContextManager() and passing it to the method - it doesn't work(at least I still need to clean cache manually).

I would appreciate any advise/suggestion.

Thank you in advance.

You should do in your code same that happens on "Refresh Catalog Cache" button click:

CacheRefreshEvent eventX = new CacheRefreshEvent("catalogcache", "master", = ID.Null);
EventManager.QueueEvent<CacheRefreshEvent>(eventX, true, true);

For more details, look on Sitecore.Commerce.Connect.CommerceServer.Caching.RefreshCache, Sitecore.Commerce.Connect.CommerceServer implementation via reflector.
