KBI 220257 System File Rules Locking

Version

All

Date

8 Sep 2004

Summary

Do System File Rules actually open the file it checks, potentially causing a locking issue?

Technical Background

The Argent System File Rules simply check the directory table to determine if a file exists and its last-modified date.

Since this information is stored in the directory table, Argent does not need to open the file in any way.

Any issues regarding locked files are not caused by the System File Rules.

Resolution

N/A.
