Advanced Run/View PeerLock

 

To see this panel, click on the Show Advanced Display link at the bottom right corner of the Run/View PeerLock window. The Enable Advanced Display option must be checked in order for this link to be active. The Advanced Run/View PeerLock display is the bottom screen. In addition to containing the same information as the Basic Display, the Advanced Display contains the following additional tabs:

Target File Path

Shows the file name complete with folder path for a target file that is locked, if the file exists and/or can be locked.

Locked

Display the date/time when the target file was locked.

Duration

Displays the amount of time that the source file has been opened.

Accessed By

The name of the user who has opened the file or accessed the resource.

Target Access Allowed

Displays the permissions that are allowed on the opened target file which are applied by PeerLock.

Source File Path

Displays the file name complete with folder path for the source file that has been detected as an open file.

Job Number

Represents the automatically assigned Job number for each Job.

# Locks

Displays the number of locks on the source.

Application

Displays the application that has been detected as opening the source file.

Detection Type

This column represents the PeerLock detection mode used to detect what source files are locked/opened. This will either be File Server Mode Detection or Local Detection.

Note: Starting with version 3.0, PeerLock supports File Server Mode Detection only.

Idle Time

Shows the amount of time the target file will remain locked once the source file has been released. When the source file is closed PeerLock will wait the number of Idle Time seconds specified before releasing the target file. During the Idle Time period the file entry in the Locked list will be highlighted Yellow. The Idle Time value can be set in the Release Options dialog. This feature is intended to protect the releasing of files during file opens and saves. Certain applications may temporary release files during these procedures. With this feature enabled PeerLock will wait the set period of time to make sure the file is fully released before unlocking the corresponding target files

Lock File Handle

Displays the handle value created that is being used to lock the temporary Lock File created by PeerLock to Interact with other Peer Software Products. If the Interact features are disabled then this will display 'None'.

Release Detected

Shows the date and time when PeerLock detected the source file was closed. This value will be cleared if the file is reopened within the Idle period and the target file handle is not released.

Source Access Allowed

Displays the permissions that are allowed on the opened source file.

Source Attributes

Shows the attributes of the source file.

Source Handle

Displays the handle value created when the source file was opened.

Temporary Releases

Shows the number of times the source file was closed during the Idle period.

 

 

Notes:  

 

For efficiency purposes, only when you click on the screens/tabs within the Advanced Run/View PeerLock panel will the values get updated. A Cache folder within the PeerSync installation folder maintains the necessary event files that will be loaded into the advanced display screens/tabs.
