Locking

An option is available to mark certain file types as non-collaborative, changing the way locks on the specified file types are handled.  These settings are configured on a global level for all File Collaboration jobs and are critical for certain file types so that the file collaboration solution is able to correctly read any part of these files, ensuring any managed database type files are synchronized in a consistent and usable state.

To modify the locking settings:

1.Select Preferences from the Window menu.

2.Expand File Collab, Sync, and Locking in the navigation tree, and then select Locking.

FC-Preferences-Locking

3.Modify the settings as needed.

User Defined Non-Collaborative File Extensions
