Bundle cache [Settings]

The bundle cache is a cell-wide store (or server-wide for single-server systems) of bundles that are referenced by OSGi applications, and that have been downloaded from both internal and external repositories. For a given bundle you can view the bundle size, the download status, and a list of the assets and composition units that use the bundle. We can also view and refresh the repository URL for the repository that hosts the bundle.

A bundle download is requested when you import an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) file as an asset, and when you update an asset to use new bundle versions. A bundle download is also requested when you add a composite bundle as an extension to a composition unit.

To view this panel in the administrative console, click the following path:

Environment > OSGi bundle repositories > Bundle cache > bundle_name_and_version.

If the download is complete, "100%" is displayed. If a download is in progress and the total expected file size is known, the approximate percentage complete is displayed. If a download is in progress and the total expected file size is not known, for example because the file is being downloaded through an FTP site, the number of bytes downloaded so far is displayed.
