Résumé
Forces a refresh of the Catalog window or Catalog tree.
Discussion
The Catalog window may not always display the latest state of all information. In these cases, it is useful to refresh your content. For instance, intermediate data created within a script tool, or using other python modules to create or move data will not be automatically shown in the Catalog window.
