Quick Refresh External Objects with VBScript

Former Member
Former Member
Hi all,

I want to setup VBScript to a scheduler that performs a quick refresh on external objects at given intervals.

Does anyone have some examples or guidance on how to do this?

Best Regards,

  • So in your case the external source has some very fresh data (added during the last 15 minutes) that is not yet available in M-Files when the user is creating new objects? Then I can understand needing a script solution to trigger the refresh. If possible, I would have the external system trigger the update after the new data has been added so that it is available in M-Files as soon as possible.

    If this is not the case and the quick refresh doesn't run automatically every 15 minutes, I suggest you contact your M-Files reseller to review the external connections, the refresh logic and possible issues with it.
