2.13.8 Caching distributed packages (ITDM-compatible distribution)
A distributed package is temporarily cached on the distribution target computer. Such a cached package is deleted from the computer only when software installation or file distribution successfully finishes. If such an operation fails, the cached package remains for a specific period of time.
In this case, if you re-execute a task, the package will not be resent and installation or file distribution will be performed using the cached package. Thus, caching distributed packages can reduce the network load.
A package can remain cached for seven days. After the seven days, the cached package will be deleted.
At least 1 GB of free hard disk space is required to cache packages on an agent-installed computer. The maximum capacity of packages that can be cached is 2 GB.
