Question
Concurrent invocation of a workbench ?
Does FME server support concurrent invocation of a given workbench. To be specific is it possible to invoke the same workbench from N # of systems at the same given instance of time .

FME Server uses a queue, so concurrent requests to run the same workspace will be executed in the order they arrive. It depends on the number of engines that are running with your FME server, how many times the workspace is executet concurrently.

The simple answer is yes. For example both you and I could run the same workspace on different engines.
The longer answer is that you need to be careful when the workspaces are trying to read - but especially write - to the same dataset. Preferably you'll be using a database that can keep itself in sync. You wouldn't want to try and write to the same file simultaneously. At best one workspace could be denied access. At worst you could get a corrupt output file.
Hope this helps
