Hi Everyone,
We have a process that does a copy of a share from one location to
another.
This usually works fine but can occasionally bomb if a file is opened
by a user somewhere.
Is there a way to code detection of open files and force a close?
The files in question are typically PDF files if that matters.
Any pointers you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.
If the file is open then an exception will be raised. You could catch
it, sleep a while, and then retry, or continue with the other files and
then come back to it and retry. It might take more than one retry.
Anyway, it's a bad idea to force a close, even if that's possible.
