Why a Checksum Deployment May Not Occur During a Push Replication?
Checksum deployment will not occur if the files you’ve replicated are smaller than 10 KB. By default, only files that are bigger than this will be pushed with a checksum deploy.
You can change this default value in the $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/etc/artifactory.system.properties file by using the following flag:
artifactory.replication.checksumDeploy.minSizeKb=XYZ
Any files that are smaller than the value that has been set as above (XYZ) will not be pushed with a checksum deploy. Instead, it will deployed as it is in a regular deployment.
