How to refresh control to cifs folder information?

Hello

I am user alfresco-community 201605 on linux(Cent OS7).

I have a question about Alfresco's cifs function to refresh folder information.

For exsample, If I open a specific file from the cifs folder and overwrite it, the folder information will not be changed.

(However, if I press F5 key in Windows Explorer, folder information will be updated.)

Does anyone know how to automatically update Alifresco's cifs folder information?

Please let me know your wisdom.

Hi!

Thank you for your reply.

It was helpful, But I would like to resolve it without changing the setting on the client side.

Is there no solution on the server side?

Regards.

Hi,

I think not, but for the client side the solution could be as follows:

  1. Open "Regedit" and find key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
  2. Create next DWORD:
    - FileInfoCacheLifetime = 0
    - FileNotFoundCacheLifetime = 0
    - DirectoryCacheLifetime = 0
  3. Reinitiate Windows.

Regards,

Hi Gonzalez

Thank you for your advice.

I tried edit to registry on my client pc.

I tried edit the registry according to your advice and restarted.

but the file update date was not change.

Besides that, I also tried the following.

  1. Open "Regedit" and find key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
  2. Create next DWORD:
    - SMB2 = 0
  3. Reinitiate Windows.

but the file update date was not change too.

thanks.

In my opinion is a Windows/explorer problem:

Other actions:

1. Registry Changes: In regedit go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BDEADE7F-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}\Instance and change DontRefresh value to 0.

2. Sort by Name: In properties explorer use Sort by name.

Hi Gonzalez

Thank you for your repeated advice.

I tried edit to registry on my client pc(windows 7 sp1 32bits) and according to your repeated advice and restarted windows.

After windows started, it called data of cisf folder,

 overwrite update, → no change

 folder sorted by name → no change.

 Open another folder and return to the original folder → The update date and time was change.

I found that the update date and time will change when updating to the latest information or referring to another folder and returning to the original.

But I want to make the update date and time change when updating on the application side.

Thanks Regards.

Surely that seems like a problem in windows network refresh.
