Prerequisites
n

page 228.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, click View Configuration > Transfer Server Repository.
2 In the Contents panel, select a package file.
3 Click Remove.
A dialog warns you if linked-clone desktops are using the base image from which the selected package
file was published. You can cancel the package removal or continue.
4 Click OK.
The package enters the Pending Delete state and is deleted.
Migrate the Transfer Server Repository to a New Location
You can migrate the Transfer Server repository to a new location if your current disk drive is running out of
space.
All View Transfer Server instances that are associated with a View Connection Server must be in maintenance
mode before you can migrate the Transfer Server repository.
If you have multiple View Transfer Server instances, migrate the Transfer Server repository to a network-
shared drive. Other View Transfer Server instances cannot access a Transfer Server repository that is configured
on a local drive on one View Transfer Server instance.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that View Transfer Server is installed and configured. See “Add View Transfer Server to View
Manager,” on page 224.
n
Do not publish packages in the Transfer Server repository while you migrate the repository. If a package
is published in the current repository after you start copying the repository files to the new location, the
package might not be copied to the new location.
To enforce this prerequisite, you could put View Transfer Server in maintenance mode before you
manually copy the repository, but that approach would extend the downtime for data transfers while the
repository files are copied.
Instead, this procedure directs you to copy the repository files before you put View Transfer Server in
maintenance mode. This approach minimizes the time that View Transfer Server is unavailable.
