Description

This command can enable/disable ( passing 1/0 ) the client Windows Explorer file synchronization with the files managed by DBWAclServer. It is useful when it is known that a script will not use any client-side file operation (for example using the script runtime FileSystemObject or using native CAD APIs like "Open of a file" after a server-side file copy) for a sequence of file commands.

Syntax

call DBWShell("EnableDisableDBWAclServerWindowsExplorerSynchronization enable")

Parameter

Remarks

Please note that in the following example the file management is implemented using ONLY the MechWorks PDM API - this allows the programmer to DISABLE the server/client synchronization since it is not necessary - the synchronization is ON by default

Example

'.x64

Sub main()
 DBWInit(TRUE)
 ...
 DBWShell("EnableDisableDBWAclServerWindowsExplorerSynchronization 0")
 DBWDeleteAFile myFilePath
 if DBWFileExists(myFilePath) then
      DBWMsgBox "The file " & myFilePath & " can't be deleted!"
 end if
 DBWShell("EnableDisableDBWAclServerWindowsExplorerSynchronization 1")
 ...
End Sub
