Solution:

The solution is to allow caching within IIS on the SuperAgent/ADA master console.

This can be done by completing the following steps:

1. Open you IIS Manager
   
   
2. Select 'SuperAgentWebService' from the menu on the left, and then double click 'HTTP Response Headers'.
   
   

   <Please see attached file for image>

   
   
   
3. Once you are in the 'HTTP Response Headers' section, please enter the 'Set Common Headers...' section from the menu on the right.
   
   

   <Please see attached file for image>

   
   
   
4. From here, you will see that 'Expire Web content is enabled BUT it is set to expire after 0 seconds by default. You will want to set this to something like 7-8 Days.
   
   

   <Please see attached file for image>

   
   
   
5. After setting this properly, you will need to do an iisreset from the command prompt.

**The customer had to wait from a global sync for the SA and NPC to sync properly (about 5 - 25 minutes)
