When running scripts, do you guys pull the scripts from a network drive or a local drive. For example you have 2 cmms both use the same script to save a program after it completes and that script is on the network. what can happen if two different programs try to run the script at the same time? ours are all on our local but IT wants them on the network for reasons I'm not going to get into.
In defense of the IT department and network drives, it likely has to do with protecting the family jewels and making sure they're backed up. A network drive is easier for this than a scheme to back up local drives on each and every individual computer.
We used them (network drives) and have not had any issues except the occasional network drop (rare). of course, everything shuts down in that case.
As executing for executing scripts, I'm not sure if you're referring to basic scripts or PC-Dmis measurement programs. If basic scripts, multiple CMM shouldn't be an issue. For PC-Dmis measurement programs, remember that the measurement program is saved after execution (which is why the data in it always matches the last part measured).
