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. You 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.

Configuration tab

The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.
