In the general source settings, source versions, one-time storage, and behavior in case of temporary failures of the external server are specified.
When to use
Use these settings to control the storage and stability of external file downloads.
Setting procedure
- Open General Source Settings.
- Specify how many versions of the source code to store.
- Enable deletion at the next 00:00 UTC if the file is one-time only.
- Set a timeout before trying again.
- Specify the number of retries if the download fails.
- Save the source.
What to check
- The number of versions does not exceed the real need.
- Random one-time deletion is not included for regular sources.
- Retries do not place undue burden on the external site.
Notes
- Maximum values are limited by the interface and storage tariff limits.
- Retries help with temporary errors, but do not correct an invalid URL or password.
