Hi Jianwu, I'll jump in . . . Not being able to run multiple Kepler processes is a pretty serious limitation for me.
For example, I can't run Kepler-1.0.0 and the Kepler head at the same time because of the hsqldb issue. I suspect that there might be problems running on separate machines that share the same user home directory, though I have not verified this. The GUI should be well behaved and run multiple runs at the same time. However, in practice, I'm not sure that if I was doing a 3 day run I would want to risk a crash. Being able to start a run, disconnect and reconnect is something we've talked about in the past. My way of doing this is to use Windows Remote Desktop into a server. Using any sort of virtualization would help some here. _Christopher Jianwu Wang wrote: > Hi, > > I'm curious why don't you use menu item 'File-->Open File' to open > and launch another workflow.
