Project client not recieve enterprise resource updates until you delete server connection document

It's very bad and strange problem with Project Professional 2016 client.

If I change enterprise resource availability and rates, the client doesn't recieve enterprise resource updates until you delete server connection document or delete all folders in cache folder.

How can we fix this big problem?

With best regards, Vasily

    Hello Vasily_Zaytsev ,

    Unfortunately I don't have access to Project Server on-premises anymore, I only use Project Online so I'm not able to test this.

  • Hello Vasily_Zaytsev ,

    If you have the Project Desktop client open and connected to the PWA instance then make changes to the PWA instance such as resource changes, enterprise custom field config changes, the Project Desktop client will pick up these changes if you close and relaunch Project Desktop and connect back to the PWA instance. There should not be any need to delete / recreate connections, just close Project, relaunch and connect.
