Sametime business card data cache
The Sametime client has a cache of the information it has fetched from the business card (aka blackbox) system on a per user basis. This is both the textual data and the image data. In case your Sametime client displays stale data you can do one of two things:
- Right-click the contact and select "Refresh Person Info". This will make Sametime refetch the data from the Sametime server.
- Clear the cache from disk.
So where is this cache? Well if you open the "workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.people.impl\PersonCache" directory beneath your Notes data directory you'll see a directory per Sametime community you're connected to. In each of these directories you'll find
- an .index file containing a list of the known users
- an XML file per user with person info
- a picture, if any, of the user
Easy.
