    6. In the Linux environment, run the following command to clear the Axon cache and restart the necessary services:
    sh <INSTALLATION_DIR>/axonhome/third-party-app/scripts/paramsync
    When you run the paramsync script, Axon restarts the HTTPD, Memcached, and email notification services.
Note: When you clear the cache and restart the Axon services, the Axon web interface might be disrupted for some users that are logged into Axon. Informatica recommends that you update the cache after you save your changes in all the System Settings pages. Additionally, perform this action during a maintenance period when very few users are using Axon.
