Set Up Predictive Block Caching for a Package

Predictive Block Caching can be used to download and cache a specific set of blocks from a FlexApp VHDX file to reduce application load times. This option requires the set of blocks to be recorded by the FlexApp Packaging Console while loading the application. To set up Predictive Block Caching, complete the following steps:

1. In the FlexApp Packaging Console, locate the package you want to set up Predictive Block Caching for.
2. Click the Edit the package button on the right side of the package row.
3. In the drop-down list that appears, click the Set up Predictive Block Caching for the package button.
4. The Creating Predictive Block Cache for the Package screen opens.
   
   
4. Launch the application to capture the blocks that will be used when a user starts the application.
5. After the application has fully loaded, close it and click Finish.
6. Click OK when the process is complete.

Note: If Predictive Block Caching data has been recorded for a package, a small icon for this option appears in the lower right corner of the application’s icon in the package list.
