Tip Tip
This method requires a file lock or exclusive access.
Sends a NotifyFileChange message upon completion.
There are two different formulations of the matching relationship between the two servers. If lRandomFlag is TRUE, this server must be indexed on the specified key, but the other server can be in any order; if lRandomFlag is not specified or is FALSE, both servers must be indexed or sorted on the specified key. If there is more than one record in this server with matching key fields, only the first one is updated.
