<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a vector GDALDataset that is shared between two applications running on different machines. Both applications call GDALOpenEx(…) to open the shapefile.shp with flags GDAL_OF_VECTOR and GDAL_OF_SHARED flags set to open the dataset.
The dataset only has one layer associated with it and the shapefile format is the ESRI shapefile.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After opening the dataset in both applications, the first application creates a new feature and adds it to the layer. The resulting shapefile on disk shows that this is working when I inspect the contents of the shapefile with ogrinfo –al
shapefile.shp. The new feature has been added as expected with a feature count = 1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to update the second application to get the changes to the layer made by the first application? I’ve tried doing layer->SyncToDisk() in the second application but this has no affect. Do I have to close the layer/dataset and
reopen it in the second application to get the changes made by the first application?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m new to OGR/GDAL so I hope my explanation and question makes sense…<o:p></o:p></p>
