Title Having the same app opened by multiple instances of PhAB at the same time
Ref. No. QNX.000009848
Category(ies) Development
Issue Is it possible to start PhAB application in two places at the same time?


Solution PhAB does not support having the same application opened by multiple instances of PhAB at once.
PhAB tries to prevent you from doing it by locking the abapp.dfn file. This mechanism can be disabled with the '-n' option, but that is just a workaround for filesystems that do not support locking (like NFS).
When using the '-n' option, make sure that you do not have multiple people working on the application. Otherwise you will end up with corrupted application files.
