[Jo...] Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 Hello, I've got a question. We are running the same CMM program from our server simultaniously on two machines at the same time (Contura G2 RDS). We've found out that both machines are writing in the same temp geaoactuals folder, and thus overwriting each others data from the measured elements. Is there a way to prevent this without using two copies of the CMM program?

[Ro...] Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 If you add something like time or machine identifier to the to the output file name, that would probably fix your issue. I personally like time, because it gives a unique file name every second.dkjbsdkjvfbdskjbvsdkjvbakjv.PNG Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/6292-running-the-same-program-on-two-machines-at-the-same-time/#findComment-24468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are missing a point - whenever Calypso is measuring it saves measured data into "temp" or "geoactuals" folder - here lies problem - you can not control this location or names.

[Mi...] Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 I highly do not recommend running over the network. Put the program locally on the PC, any interruptions in connectivity will give issues. However, the setting for actuals I believe if you go to Environment > Paths and select "Fixed directory for actual values" it will allow two programs to run simultaneously Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/6292-running-the-same-program-on-two-machines-at-the-same-time/#findComment-24472 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these points are valid. 1 - Running over a network is doable but you will see a loss in performance (load times will be the biggest impact). It is STRONGLY advised that you save ACTUALS (not " measured points") to a local directory. Saving "ACTUALS" to a network drive, regardless of sharing violations will very likely eventually result in a error (or worse). If two systems access the same ACTUALS simultaneously, this likelihood will be realized even sooner. The ACTUALS are like the temporary navigation data being cached for near real time use. If one PC is writing to it while another is reading... 2 - Adding getRecordHead("dmesn") will add the SN to the filename. Adding time is a great method as well to ensure you do not overwrite.
