Changing File Ownership
and synchronizes the file only if the OPENUPDATE interval has elapsed since the
last update. If the file is being updated at the time AutoSYNC attempts to back up
the file set, the file is not synchronized.
•
In rare cases, a user might wish to synchronize a file, even if it is being modified
while AutoSYNC is backing up the file set. To enable the synchronization of a file
that is being updated, use the UNPROTECTED option, in conjunction with
OPENUPDATE.
UNPROTECTED is supported only for the following file types:
•
OSS files
•
Unstructured files that are not edit files
•
Entry-sequenced files
To specifying the OPENUPDATE option, the following conditions must be met:
°
The file must not be audited.
°
The file cannot be opened for exclusive access.
°
Recovery must be enabled for the fileset.
Changing File Ownership
By default, the ownership of each synchronized file is preserved. You may specify the
OWNER option to give the files to any user ID, including your own user ID.
Note that for OSS files, only SUPER.SUPER can change the ownership of a file on the
destination. Moreover, using the OWNER option does not change the group id of the
file. To change the group id, the user must also specify the OWNERGROUP option.
Synchronizing Based on Ownership
By default, source files owned by all user can be candidates for synchronization,
provided the security settings allow it.
You can restrict the source file set to files owned by a specific user ID, by using the
FROMOWNER option. Files owned by other users are skipped.
Note that for OSS, if a directory that is not owned by the FROMOWNER user ID is not
synchronized, even if it contains files or subdirectories that are owned by the
FROMOWNER user ID.
Caution. The user should be aware that backing up a file that is being updated
could cause the destination file to be corrupted.
