Remarks

The IWorkspaceFactoryStatus::WorkspaceStatus property returns an enumeration of IWorkspaceStatus objects for all currently open workspaces. This property should be used as a course grained object to determine the current status of the workspace connection (esriWCSUp or esriWCSDown). Use IWorkspaceStatus::ConnectionStatus property to determine the status of a particular workspace. The values of esriWorkspaceConnectionStatus returned by the IWorkspaceFactoryStatus::WorkspaceStatus property are:

·                 esriWCSUp indicates that the workspace is up.

·                 esriWCSDown indicates that the workspace has lost its connection.

If the status of a workspace connection is esriWCSDown a reconnection can be made to the workspace once the workspace becomes available for reconnection. It is recommended to use the IWorkspaceFactoryStatus::PingWorkspaceStatus method to obtain the current status of the down workspace. If the connection status has changed from esriWCSDown to esriWCSAvailable the IWorkspaceFactoryStatus::OpenAvailableWorkspace method can be used to get a reference to the workspace.

Note that IWorkspaceFactoryStatus::OpenAvailableWorkspace does not repair the original workspace, but provides a mechanism to get a new one when reconnection is possible. It is the responsibility of the application to refresh other objects that rely on the new workspace (for example, opening a feature class from the new workspace and setting it into a feature layer).
