Question: is it safe to update Physics while Maple is busy running something at same time?

I have number of worksheets open. I set each to use its own engine.

If I have one worksheet running a long loop that takes hrs to complete, or even if I have cmaple.exe running long script in command line, and then at same time I open new worksheet and type

             Physics:-Version(latest)

Then I always get this error

This is described here

It seems because Maple was busy running another worksheet. I never see this error if I am not running any other thing in Maple at the time. ( I actually try not to update Physics while running something else in Maple, but sometimes I do not notice that I have something else running).

When I wait for my other worksheet to finish, then close all of Maple and reopen Maple, I see the latest version is installed, at least this is what Physics:-Version() now says.

My question is:  Is it safe to do Physics:-Version(latest) even when Maple is busy running  computation in other separate worksheet or even running cmaple.exe from windows command line? Is there any concurrency/locking issue on the Physics library being updated while it is being open by another worksheet or another server.exe running in background?

All this is on windows 10 pro.

Please Wait...
