|
The File Locking settings page contains miscellaneous configuration items pertaining to a how source and target files are locked by PeerLink, and is available by selecting File Locking from the tree node within the File Collaboration Configuration dialog.
Below are a list of general fields and their descriptions:
Allow Write Access During Sync. |
If enabled, users will be allowed write access to source files that are currently being synchronized. If not checked, then users will be denied write access to source files during synchronization, but will be able to open them in read-only mode. |
Exclusive Target Lock |
If enabled, then whenever possible, an exclusive lock will be obtained on target file handles, which will prevent users from opening the file (even in read-only mode) while a user has the file opened on the source host. When this option is disabled, then users will be allowed to open files for read-only if the application allows for this. |
Include MS Office User Lock Information |
If enabled, user lock information (if available) will be propagated to target locks for supported Microsoft Office files (e.g. Word, Excel & PowerPoint). |
Enable Source Snapshot Sync. |
If enabled, a snapshot copy of the source file will be created for files that meet the snapshot configuration criteria below, and this copy will be used for synchronization purposes. In addition, no file handle will be held on the source file except while making a copy of the file. |
Snapshot File Extensions |
A comma separated list of file extensions for which source snapshot synchronization will be utilized. |
Max File Size (MB) |
The maximum file size for which source snapshot synchronization will be utilized. |
Sync. On Save: Included File Extensions |
A comma separated list of file extensions for which to enable the Sync. On Save feature. Enabling this feature will allow supported files types to be synchronized after a user saves a file, rather then waiting for file to close. |
Sync. On Save: Synchronization Delay |
The number of seconds to wait after a file has been saved before initiating a synchronization of the file. |
