I have some records stored in a data class (data instances), and they are being used across application using a node level data page. I change a value for one of the instances, flush the node level data page (in dev) and getting the expected result.

I have also provided the ins keys for deployment and this will move forward to test environments.

How do I ensure that the data page gets flushed in test and other higher environments (prod). No refresh strategy is defined on the data page. My questions are below:
Do i have to manually login to higher environments and flush this?
Is this a recommended way, if not wats the recommended approach?
