TitleReplicator needs restarting when you add new users to Perforce or TeamTrack
Statusclosed

DescriptionWhen you add a new user to Perforce or TeamTrack or change a user's e-mail address, you have to restart the replicator.
AnalysisThis is because the replicator caches the users from Perforce and TeamTrack. If the cache were flushed on a regular basis then there would no longer be any need to do this.
GDR 2001-07-19: This is Perforce's job 6081.
In fact, this job is only true in the TeamTrack integration. The Bugzilla integration re-reads its user cache whenever there's a miss. [NB 2001-07-25: the AG now reflects this].
Once per poll is the natural point to consider reloading the cache on a miss. But that might lead to the USERS table being reloaded every poll, which is a bad idea.
