I've done this before, but its unusual to also allow multiple builds of the same project to operate concurrently in this situation. Usually you would schedule the definitions so that they don't conflict. Continuum doesn't have any way to know that the separate agents have the same workspace and can't operate concurrently. > > Now, if I create a separate group for the the other build definition and > execute the two build definition at the same time, still the two builds are > executing in parallel. So, that does not help. Any other idea? I was suggesting that you separate the workspace of the other pool, which is just used for the concurrent builds, but most jobs that can run in parallel go to the main agent pool with the same workspace. - Brett
