Delete a Package File from the Transfer Server Repository
View Transfer Server stores View Composer base images as package files in the Transfer Server repository.
When these files are out of date or no longer used, you can delete the packages from the Transfer Server
repository.
You can delete a package file even if linked-clone desktops still use the base image from which the package
file was published. After you delete the package file, these desktops cannot be checked out.
Prerequisites
Verify that View Transfer Server is configured in View Manager. See

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
Verify that View Transfer Server is installed and configured. See
