Transport package in Success folder

Question

In cd_deployer_conf file we have set Cleanup="false, so that transport package will not be deleted after publishing, but we can see 3 different packages for single publish actions like

tcm_0-264891-66560.COMMIT

tcm_0-264891-66560.Content

tcm_0-264891-66560.PREPARE

Is this the normal behavior? Or we can do some configuration so that only one (.content) package will be created?

Answer 1

That is indeed normal behavior.

Deployment in Tridion 2011 is transactional, so you're seeing the different phases of the transaction there.

If you publish to multiple targets, you will see all of them get and process their PREPARE and Content packages. Only after all of the targets report success on processing those packages, will they receive the Commit package.
