The customer reported that after upgrading to ITMS 8.6 GA release (Also known as RTM release), he can't change when an image package under Image Management can be deleted. By default it is set to "1 week" but he needs to change to "Never Delete"
Issue:
What was done so far:
• Tried with a different admin account and different browsers.
• No errors that we could relate in the NS logs that could tell us if it was failing saving the change.
• Issue is just with image packages! Tried with patch packages and it was working fine.
Unknown. Possible issue with the web browser and how the request is handled.
Dev decided to remove this option from the page:
Control disabled for Deployment Solution Package Server images since it is irrelevant for external packages.
It appeared that when save is pressed on the page. The specified setting is ignored for external packages. This is correct behavior since the setting does not make any sense in this case, just during implementation it was forgotten to disable this control (package location and source controls are).
ITMS 8.6
This drop-down option for ‘Package files will be deleted from the client computer if unused for’ is going to be removed in ITMS 8.6 RU2.
There is a workaround to manually change the selected frequency directly on the database:
--This query updates the table where we store the interval. This query changes the interval of "10080" (1 week) to "-1" (Never Delete).
update RM_ResourcePackage
set state = replace (cast (state as nvarchar (max)), '<deleteAfterInterval>10080</deleteAfterInterval>', '<deleteAfterInterval>-1</deleteAfterInterval>')
where GUID = 'AddGUIDhere'
