Citect 2018 Deployment - more than 2 versions required on client ...

Gordon

Hi All,

I have a pending need to be able to manage how many deployed 'versions' are managed/maintained on a client. At present, it appears I am restricted to only having 2 versions maintained on the client. Rolling out a further deployed version results in the deletion of the 'oldest' version of the 2 current ones.

I have noticed the file c:\citect\config\SE.Asb.Deployment.Node.WindowsService.exe.config, which has a parameter called 'PackagesToKeep' set to a value of '2'. Changing the value seems to have no effect, and I've no way of knowing if the parameter has anything to do with what I want anyway.

Does anyone know if/how I can amend the number of deployed versions that can be managed/maintained on a client ?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Gordon,

    The 'PackagesToKeep' setting is specifically designed to define how many versions are kept on that client. There is no central way to define that all clients maintain the same number of versions.
    Technically though it is that value - 1, as the oldest gets overwritten (So specify 3, retains 2). I was using this a couple of months back on 2018 and it was working as expected. If I get a chance tomorrow I will try it again just in case the xmas period has blurred my memory :)

    Cheers,
