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 apply to all File Collaboration, File Synchronization, and File Replication jobs.  These settings are critical for certain file types so that the job can correctly read these files, ensuring that managed file types are synchronized in a consistent and usable state.

To modify the locking settings:

1.Select Preferences from the Window menu.

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