Hello everyone,
I would like to automatically obtain the latest version of the files in a folder each time I connect to my EPDM.
Anyone have a trick to be able to do this?
Thanks in advance
Hello
The option can be found here:

I know this option, but it works for all files without exception, but I want to do it but only in certain folders.
Ok, so I don't think it's possible... except to create a macro (small program) in VBA to do it either by pressing a button or at regular intervals.
As shown here:

You can empty the cache, but no other solution than the one proposed before.
Hello
The CacheRefresh tool of the myPDMtools suite allows you to specify the folders where you need to retrieve the latest versions of the files.
The trigger is done manually or with the creation of a windows task (at logon for example)

If programming in VBA is not a problem, it's quite simple.
Otherwise, I can do the macro for very cheap!
As @prossignol says, CacheRefresh is THE solution to your needs.
I used it to refresh (get the latest versions) document template folders, SW settings,... stored in EPDM. It is run once a week, on Mondays at 12:30 p.m. via the Windows Task Scheduler, when the majority of users were no longer in front of their computers, so in hidden time.
Very efficient and reliable!

With ePDM 2014, it is possible to get the latest version of only a folder (for a group or for a user). But also to automatically empty the local cache of a directory in order to obtain the latest version for later consultation.
Ex: for the LIBRARIAN group you can say get the latest version (refresh the directory) for the Library directory this is only done when connecting to the vault. If you close your workstation every day you will have the latest version when you log in.
Personally I prefer to use 'clear the cache when disconnected'

Hello
I'd like to relaunch this post because I have a similar problem. that is, automatically get the latest version of multiple files in multiple folders.
More precisely, I wrote a macro in order to be able to open a 3D file with the right configuration, previously selected by the user and the associated drawing. These files are now in the EPDM vault but when I run the macro without having retrieved the latest version manually I have a bug in the code.
What I would like to do to start is to check the connection to the EPDM (if not already done MsgBox indicating that you have to connect) and then that the latest version of the desired files is retrieved.
So is it easier to use a macro to retrieve them or the option "clear cache on disconnection" or "activate the lros cache of the connection"?
Thank you very much for your answers!
Maybe it would be better to open a new subject??
Be careful not to mix:
"Get the version... " and "get the latest version"
because "getting the latest version" applies to children, and even makes them become a future version in relation to the mother, and therefore it will not be a TQC.
This principle of "latest version" is strongly linked to the working method: a part must be "backwards compatible"!!
