I created a deployment (let’s call it deployment “A”) for testing on my Mender Enterprise trial account. Since it was for testing, none of my devices completed the deployment, but only queried the available update and retrieved artifact metadata.

After testing this much, I abandoned the deployment “A”, but now even if I have created new deployments targeting the same device group, upon querying the next avalable update, the devices always get metadata for deployment “A” and not for any new deployment I have created.

My question is: how do I get rid of deployment “A” so my devices can see the new deplyments I have created?

Hi @ch3ckmat3,

What do you exactly mean by “abandoned” the deployment?

Sorry, my bad, I “aborted” the deployment.

The issue is gone now. I believe some kind of response caching was causing it.
