+**  Note: **  In general, we don’t suggest that you monitor the same out queue with two or more different iPDF Monitoring Engines because each engine will have Data Queues competing to pick up originating spool files for each of the engines.\\
+If you have two different iPDF Monitoring Engines monitoring the same originating out queue, but running at different times, the iPDF Monitoring Engines screen will indicate that the first engine on the list as the engine that is active (running) rather than the selected engine.
+**For Example:**
+TESTIPDF02 iPDF Monitoring Engine was selected to run, but TESTIPDF01 is indicated as Active (running).
+{{pub:iPDF:iPDF_multiple_monitors_01.jpg|}}
+At the same time, we can see that in Work Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB), the TESTIPDF02 Engine is actually running and not the TESTIPDF01 Engine
