We are having some hiccups where users will sometimes get a warning that the Central File is busy. The user will simply select an object to edit, and when Revit pings the Central File to see if that ObjectID is available it will throw a warning about being busy. We THINK it may be that the Volume Shadow Copy we use in conjunction with DFS Replication is holding a lock on the file for more than the microsecond it should.
So I am hoping someone can suggest some software that would allow us to monitor the central files themselves, and see a real time trace of activity, and ideally what is accessing the file. I would expect to see a constant stream of little blips as Element Borrowing is happening, and larger blips as Reload Latest & Sync w/ Centrals happen. If we see a long access by VSC we know what to start troubleshooting.
Any suggestions? And anyone seen this kind of behavior before?
Thanks!
