Hi Edvard,

Why don't you build your own OpLocks tool with SetupBuilder?

Hi Edvard,

Hmm, "hint"? <g> Do you see "Oplocks" in the Clarion documentation <g>
It's not related to the SetupBuilder or Clarion development environment.

Enabling/disabling opportunistic locking "oplocks" is nothing more than
simple registry settings <g>

As an example, see the attached "disableoplocks_server.sbi" include script
for SetupBuilder. Just use "#include script..." in your .sb7 project to
disable opportunistic locking on servers.

You can disable oplocks for servers, for workstations, you can enhance it by
adding other options (e.g. disabling Oplocks on SMB2 for Vista+ and
Win2008+), disable Read Caching on Windows Workstations, etc. You have full
control over this if you build your own tool.

Does this help?

BTW, if you need help with this (e.g. the "workstation" and/or the "SMB2"
part) just let me know.

Hi Friedrich

I just want to make sure your example works on xp vista, windows 7 and
windows server..

You also mentioned you can disable read caching. Can it also disable write
behind caching. If so how.

Thanks
Gary

I might be wrong, but I think this can't be done via a registry
modification.

You have to open the Device Manager, choose Properties of the Disk Drive
holding the data and then under Policies, uncheck "Enable write caching" (or
check). You have to repeat the steps for all hard drives in your system.
