Orchestrator Classic to Modern Migration Issues (Robot Configuration)

Hi Team,

We have recently migrated robots from Classic to Modern Folder and used Machine Template for Robort configuration.

We have one 1 Machine Template, 4 bot machines (Ex: Machine1, Machine2, Machine3, Machine4), and 4 bot accounts (Ex:bot_user1,bot_user2,bot_user3,bot_user4).

All the bot accounts have access to all the bot machines (Floating Robots) and are configured with one machine Template.

Observed that when we select the account-machine mapping in Triggers/Jobs and the process running on selected account and machine but when we choose the Account – Any User/Robot account and Machine – Any machine always bot picking up the same bot account (Ex: bot_user1) to execute the process in the different machines.

Please see the example below:

Consider that we are utilizing the Account - Any User/Robot account and the Machine - Any Machine method to execute 4 processes (Process 1, Process 2, Process 3, Process 4) in the specified order.

Expectation:

Process 1 - bot_user1 with Machine4

Process 2 - bot_user3 with Machine1

Process 3 - bot_user4 with Machine3

Process 4 – bot_user2 with Machine2

Current Scenario:

Process 1 - bot_user1 with Machine4

Process 2 - bot_user1 with Machine1

Process 3 - bot_user1 with Machine3

Process 4 – bot_user1 with Machine2

Note: The UiPath Technical Support Team also checked, and they state that the behavior is normal and random. The robot will select the available bot account or machine, but they aren’t sure why it always selects bot_user1.

Any Idea?

Hey @SrenivasanKanna

Yep, This is right. Since you said the bot_user1 is having access to all the four machines it should run without any issue I believe.

The bot selection is actually completely random & since the bot_user1 has access to the template it is actually choosing the same bot and machine. But there is a high chance it may pick other bots too.

If you still want to pick other users, just to try assign those specific bots apart from user1 to the folder with the machine template which will help you to see if the other bot users are being picked.

Or you can just keep the user configured for only one machine at the windows level.

So basically one user with four machines is more than enough for 4 license units to be utilized (provided you confirmed all the machines are accessible by the user)

Thanks
