Data 1 and Data 2 side-by-side

Has anyone run into any issues running Data 1 and Data 2 APIs on the same server? We use the CLI tool to pull tables from Data 1 nightly. We want to begin testing the process using Data 2 but want to make sure we won't be causing any issues by having both running on the same server.

We are running CD1 on MS SQL but have switched to Postgres for CD2. They are running on the same machine, but that box has ample resources and disk space so it's not been an issue. Your mileage may vary.

@canninga The CLIs, APIs, & authentication tokens for CD1 & CD2 are totally separate. There should be no problem. Keeping their intermediary files & dependencies in different directories might make things simpler.

Awesome. Thank you both! This is what I was thinking but wanted some assurance from folks who have run both simultaneously. I appreciate the feedback!

Is there a way to tell via CD2 if a course is using Enhanced Rubrics? I didn't see it in the entity diagram for Rubrics table, but I might have missed something... Thanks Ian
