  The main linac of the X-ray free elec­tron laser (XFEL), SACLA, pro­vides elec­tron beams to two XFEL beam­lines and a beam trans­port line to the SPring-8 stor­age ring. In order to uti­lize these beam­lines at the same time, a kicker mag­net was in­stalled into the switch yard and elec­tron beams with a 60 Hz rep­e­ti­tion rate can be dis­trib­uted to these beam­lines pulse-by-pulse. Since a beam en­ergy and an op­ti­mum bunch length are usu­ally dif­fer­ent for each beam­line, the op­er­a­tion con­di­tion of each ac­cel­er­a­tion unit, such as the rf phase, the trig­ger per­mis­sion, etc., has to be changed pulse-by-pulse. Even in that case, the elec­tron beam qual­ity, such as 1 mm mrad nor­mal­ized emit­tance, 10 fs bunch length, 10 kA peak cur­rent, etc., must not be de­te­ri­o­rated. At first, we de­vel­oped a pa­ra­me­ter con­trol soft­ware that was able to man­age two XFEL beam­lines with an equal rep­e­ti­tion rate. Dif­fer­ent en­ergy beams with suf­fi­cient qual­ity for las­ing were suc­cess­fully dis­trib­uted to the two XFEL beam­lines and the XFEL per­for­mances of both beam­lines were op­ti­mized si­mul­ta­ne­ously. The de­vel­op­ment sta­tus of a new pa­ra­me­ter switch­ing sys­tem with an ar­bi­trary se­quence of the des­ti­na­tions will also be re­ported.
