Although you're adding the package to the CasperShare, what are you doing to enter its data into the JSS (priority, FEU, FUT, Category, etc.)? My guess is Casper is removing it because your JSS has no record of it.

Also, are you adding your package to your root JDS? Is your root also your Master DP?

Ah, you are correct in that I am adding 0 data, good point. Also yes it's my root and only JDS/Master DP. I was hoping for a way to automate this process, but figuring a way to script all that is a bit beyond me. I may just have it dump to a folder and manually import from there. Thanks for the help.

I suggest contacting your JAMF account representative for recommendations for programmatically adding packages to your JDS.

Sorry to revive...

We are having the same issues, and trying to manually replicate packages to JDS for the same reasons it looks like most other people have. Did you ever find an answer to this problem? Some of our packages are autodeleting from the JDS as soon as they're moved over as well. They are indeed added to Casper Admin already and seeded out to many other DPs from the Master DP.

I had this same issue and was able to resolve it. For me the checksum that CasperAdmin or JAMF DB had was different from the pkg/dmg being uploaded to the JDS. So when the JDS checked in and saw the checksum was different it deleted it. I resolved it by

1) deleting the pkg/dmg from Casper Admin, and all Distribution Points.
2) re-uploaded to Casper Admin made my information changes and saved it. 3) Replicated out to all the DP's
4) ssh'd into the Master DP
5) scp -r pkg/dmn user@JDSIP:~/path/to/upload/to
6) moved it to proper JDS share location
7) sudo jamfds inventory
8) sudo jamfds policy

I than checked the logs and JDS share location to make sure it didn't get deleted

I hope this helps

Thanks,
