Suport Multiple data marts in Controller FAP fully

A customer publishes several datamarts from a single source. Structures are updated in Controller and the user goes into FAP administration and tries to update structures on all datamarts concurrently. Sometimes this will fail because the temporary tables used are named generically and are not specific to one datamart. This functionality would then work properly and would not cause random failures. It can be worked around by running updates sequentially, but users will not want to do this. As sometimes it may work, it will be seen as a bug when it fails.

    This should definitely be strongly considered to be supported/working again in the future. We have many customers with two datamart from one source.

    Hello Paul,

    Is this not already supported as long as updates are run sequentially? I have seen many client environments with one source to two data marts working fine, therefore thought this was already supported.
