Quick Refresh External Objects with VBScript

Thank you for your reply Joonas.

I managed to get the script done with searching the forums here and looking into the API documentation.

The registry settings update requires users to view or edit the objects in order to sync, so we needed a VBScript.
Place the .vbs in a folder on your server and have the client connection setup. The name of the vault should be the same as in the script.

Here is the code for doing a quick refresh:

' Initialize the MFilesClientApplication object.
Dim oClientApp: Set oClientApp = CreateObject("MFilesAPI.MFilesClientApplication")
' Log into a vault through a document vault connection "Your Vault".
Dim oVault: Set oVault = oClientApp.BindToVault("Your Vault", 0, true, false)

'0 = MFExternalDBRefreshTypeNone 	No refresh is performed. 
'1 = MFExternalDBRefreshTypeQuick	The quick refresh searches for new items and imports them to M-Files. 
'2 = MFExternalDBRefreshTypeFull 	The full refresh updates all the changes. This operation can take several minutes. 

oVault.ObjectTypeOperations.RefreshExternalObjectType 102, 1    'where "102" is the object ID that you want refreshed and "1" is quick refresh.

Best Regards,
Conny
