Queue Triggers

Help Orchestrator
,

I can see that we are able to choose a specific bot to tun the job, but can we choose more than one to run the job

Hi @rmorgan,

Can you please put more details of what you are trying to achieve?

Thanks,

Think thats pretty clear

You either run it on x number of machines

OR 1 specific machine

but not multiple specific machines (this is what I want) Ie run the job on 1 of these x number of machines

Hi @rmorgan ,

you can:
Run a job on one specific machine, or
Run it using dynamic allocation, where Orchestrator chooses any available machine

In your case, you can Put those machines in a dedicated folder and start 1 dynamic job. Orchestrator will pick one machine from that folder.

Further you can check on below documentation can help

Please let me the documentation and workaround helped​:+1:

Hi @rmorgan

No. You can select only one robot per job.
If you want the same process to run on multiple robots, you must start multiple jobs (one per robot) or use triggers with multiple available robots so Orchestrator distributes the jobs automatically.

Hi @rmorgan

You can do that Create a Machine Template(Pool) and then choose Account-Machine Mappings, you able to select the account and Machine you need and assign this template to Folders and the job, so the job will run only on the specified machines

Hi @rmorgan

You can run more than one bot to execute the task but you haven’t asked the question clearly.

If you have 2 unattended license, then you need two users on one machine or two separate machine with one user each and you can run 2 concurrent Jobs that will execute different processes.

Hello @rmorgan

When defining your job or trigger you can use Dynamic Allocation.
Here you can define several robotusers and machines.

Create a Machine Template for your machines and just dont define the specific Hostname.

Few ways to achieve it

  1. Have a separate folder with only required machines(Sub folder also will do)
  2. Create account machine mapping and you can select multiple or pool of them

This is what I used in the end,

Automation is in its own folder.

2 Robots attached to folder

Trigger set to start 1 bot when new queue items detected.
