Hello,

What is the best practices for the ccmcache folder?

  • Size?
  • Cycle? retention period for the files
  • etc...

It seems I have to clear the cache more often now as revision of packages seems to filled up the ccmcache or do not get deployed and the Software Center is still using old versions...

Thanks,
Dom

    Hi,

    For your scenario, increasing the cache size may be a good method.

    1,- Cycle? retention period for the files

    Cached content isn't automatically deleted and is only removed if new content requires its disk space. It remains in the cache for the configured number of minutes after the client uses that content (By default this value is 1,440 minutes, 24 hours. The maximum value for this setting is 10,080 minutes, one week). If the cache space is used by content that was downloaded within the configured number of minutes, and the client must download new content, either increase the cache size or choose the option to delete persisted cache content.

    2,- Size?

    Configuration Manager client cache size is different for different users and environment. The best practice depends on your real production environment and different business needs. Essentially, you need to ensure that your cache size is larger than any deployment you are going to send to a client.

    More information, refer to: Configure the content cache for Configuration Manager clients

    Thanks for your time.

    Best regards,
    Simon
