How to force web client UI to refresh?

[vyujs]

I invoked enterMaintenanceModeTask for a vCenter server. What I want is just to see the task show in task pane of Web Client immediately.

Is there a way to force the web client UI refresh. It seems that the UI only refresh when the global Refresh button is clicked or user performs an operation.

That's correct, the Web client doesn't poll vCenter constantly because it doesn't scale up and puts too much load on vCenter.  You either need to initiate the operation from the Web Client or click the global refresh button.

Would be nice if invoking methods like enterMaintenanceModeTask performs as user operating from the Web Client. Thanks, laurentsd.

hi laurent,

from above thread can u please clear.............

is is not possible to call global refresh button click event pragmatically from mediator class..?

User has to manually click the Global refresh Button to see the immediate progress of the created vCenter Task in vCenter Task Pane.
