    Hi ContabilidadBI,

     

    1. Web.Page() needs a Gateway to refresh. Please refer to this official document. 

    2. Xml.Document() can have functions like File.Contents or Web.Contents as parameter. Please refer to mt260907.aspx. So if it's File.Contents, how can it be refreshed without a Gateway? (Such as a local file). If it's Web.Contents, no Gateway needed.
