Maintenance can be run manually via the browser by accessing the "scripts/maintenance/maintenance.php" file, which is the location of the "maintenance.php" script since OpenX 2.6 However, as you point out in <a href="http://www.openxtips.com/2009/11/tip-36-change-the-banner-cache-value-when-testing/" rel="nofollow">your post</a>, what you actually need to do is wait for the delivery cache to expire -- channel targeting settings will not be applied by maintenance running; they are in fact applied immediately -- it's just that the old delivery data will be cached for efficiency.... Hi Demian,

Yes! Maintenance can be run manually via the browser by accessing the “scripts/maintenance/maintenance.php” file, which is the location of the “maintenance.php” script since OpenX 2.6

However, as you point out in your post, what you actually need to do is wait for the delivery cache to expire — channel targeting settings will not be applied by maintenance running; they are in fact applied immediately — it’s just that the old delivery data will be cached for efficiency….

Sometimes it is desirable to invoke a maintenance run immediately, eg, to have channel targeting settings take effect, so a direct request to the adserver (for those who do not have cmdline access) would be effective. Is such a request possible? The Gurus’ link to how to setup maintenance points to a page that contains a reference to maintenance.php, a file that no longer exists in the current version (2.8.2).

Is such a request possible?
