By default, DFC preloads all SBO implementation classes by downloading them to the local BOF cache from the global registry. The downloads happen whether any application needs them or not. However, this happens only once, when DFC first connect with Global registry and also if the local BOF cache is empty. Thereafter, DFC downloads the BOF implementation only if it gets changed.

Restarting DFC does not cause it to refresh the local BOF cache. This feature provides backup if the DFC application loses its connection to the global registry.

Resolution

It is possible to turn off the BOF registry preload. Some possible application may be preventing some DFC clients from getting updated BOF versions. It is done by setting the following key value pair in the dfc.properties: dfc.bof.registry.preload.enabled = false
