Staging with possible offline repair
Staging with default settings downloads the packages
onto the managed computer and marks them for deletion after installation.
Packages which are required after installation for repair or re-installation
in offline operation can be permanently stored in the repository cache
of the managed computer with the Allow offline
repair= YES setting. This means
that re-installation or repair is possible even without a network connection.

process when using the Allow offline repair
= YES setting:
(In this example: Staging Mode = Standard)
Enabling offline repair
results in local storage space being permanently
assigned for downloading packages. Over time, this can lead to staging
becoming impossible for "new"
packages because
no storage space is available.
The storage space is specified by Cache size
in [%] of available memory or Cache size
[GB].
