This use case supports the Two Applications Communicate via a Shared File use case (section 2.5.3).
Context of Use: To monitor changes in a directory in an SMB share.
Goal: To send a directory change notification, as requested by the Application.
Actors
Application
File Client
SMB File Service
Stakeholders
User
Preconditions
The client and server computers are configured in a domain.
An SMB file share has been created on the file server.
The User has successfully opened, and obtained a handle to, a directory on the SMB file share using the procedure described in the Open a File in an SMB File Share use case (section 2.5.5.4). This handle has been used to request a change notification for the directory.
Main Success Scenario
Trigger: The SMB File Service sends a change notification to the file client for the monitored directory.
The File Client receives a change notification for the monitored directory, with an indication of the type of change that occurred in the object store as described in [MS-CIFS] (sections 2.2.7.4 and 3.2.5.40.3), [MS-SMB] (section 2.2.4.8), and [MS-SMB2] (section 2.2.36).
The File Client supplies the results of the operation to the Application.
Post Condition
A directory change notification is sent to the Application.
Extensions
If a protocol error code is returned from the SMB File Service, the Application displays an error message corresponding to the error code returned, and the use case aborts.
