SYMPTOMS
An application that opens and closes the file with a write lock may fail when the Content Replication System (CRS) is running in the same folder.



CAUSE
The CRS locks all changed files in the configured folder hierarchy for a short time. This can be a problem if CRS is configured to run in Automatic mode, because it will always be running. Each time a file is closed, CRS will open the file to check whether it should be replicated. Excluding the folder does not change this behavior.

This is by design.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create a folder structure that does not include any folders that potentially have locking conflicts.

Additional query words: replicate MCIS
