sp_external_policy_refresh (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Azure SQL Database

Forces immediate download of latest published policies for the whole instance (for every database).

Note

If there are any ongoing pull requests by the background task or by another user, the request waits until the former task is finished and starts a new pull. – This ensures that the result of calling this proc explicitly always results in a refreshed cache.
