syncCache
Loops through each dataset row for the specified applications in the cache database and performs the following tests and actions: If the Dataset.Folder field is either null or empty, the utility performs no action. If the Dataset.Folder field does not exist or is not a directory, the dataset is deleted from the cache.1 If the Dataset.AppRef field is not found in Teamcenter, the dataset is deleted from the cache.1 The dataset and its related ItemRev and Item rows in the cache database are updated from Teamcenter. This process performs most of the Open process except for downloading the design file. Since no files are downloaded, the staging directory is not modified.
