Troubleshooting
Problem
When using AsciiOutput to write to the same file in parallel, the behaviour is not consistent
Symptom
- Shared file is written by both processes with the content in a random order
- Shared file is overwritten by the last writer since the file is empty when it opens
- Fails due to the process being unable to open the shared file
Resolving The Problem
The Planning Analytics Engine does not support writing to the same file, at the same time, from parallel processes. Doing so can result in unpredictable behaviour depending on when file locks are acquired and processes complete.
