A new parameter, FileTransferLockType, is introduced in the platform-settings.json. This parameter allows setting the locking type for the File Transfer functionality using two options: LOCAL and NOLOCK. The default value is LOCAL and works for most of the use scenarios. The NOLOCK option does not lock the files or directories while performing the File Transfer related operations. Use the NOLOCK option after making sure the usage does not update the same file or directory concurrently. For more information, see platform-settings.json Configuration Details.

PTC does not recommend having a large number of files copied or moved into the same directory concurrently.

A new parameter, NonceKeyTimeout, is introduced in platform-settings.json. This parameter allows setting the Nonce Key Timeout. For more information, see platform-settings.json Configuration Details.
