Changes to SCOM Views do not show in full console

If you create a custom view in SCOM 2012 R2 ( and possibly previous versions), you may notice that it doesn’t update in the full console each time you install a new version of your management pack. However it updates in the web console. This is because you have a local cache on your machine for the console that doesn’t update existing objects (i.e. new views show, but not updated existing views)

This is a bit annoying and there are two ways to resolve this

  1. Create a new shortcut to SCOM and add the “/clearcache” switch at the end of the command line, then launch the console
  2. Delete the .MDB File in “C:\Users<Your UserName>\AppDatazLocal\Microsoft\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console", then launch the console

If neither of these work, uninstall your management pack and then reinstall it.
