Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for updating cache data on multiple servers without requiring a restart of those servers. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an ability for an application to clear one or more cached tables when the table content has been modified. The cache can be refreshed across servers without impacting the active transactions of end users. So for example, during a business process such as the general ledger period close the system will no longer need a system restart to update cached period information.
