Runtime cache¶
The Exasol Launcher downloads tools and other runtime files on demand and reuses them across deployments. It manages these files automatically; installing, using, and managing a database does not require manual cache maintenance.
Inspect the cache¶
When troubleshooting a reported download or integrity problem, inspect the cache without changing it:
List the downloaded runtime artifacts with exasol cache list. See the
CLI reference for the complete cache command surface.
Clean a failed download¶
Preview and remove only artifacts that failed integrity checks:
For a download that was interrupted before completion, use:
The launcher downloads a removed artifact again when it is next required. Do not clear cache locks while another launcher process might be running.
