I have a question regarding Processors when standing up a Server/VM for an Unattended Bot. Right now, I have a workflow that opens up an excel sheet and does some calculation. Currently I have a VM that has 2 Processors and when I run it as a job in Orchestator I see that two excel processes open up in the Task Manager within the VM. The question I have is, wouldn’t the unattended robot step on each other toes if it opens up the excel sheet in two different CPUs making the VM spike in CPU%?
When running a process in UiPath Orchestrator with multiple robots, each robot operates independently and has its own isolated environment. In your case, with a VM having 2 instances it is expected that each robot instance will run on a separate. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the robots will interfere with each other or cause conflicts when working with Excel.
If you are observing a spike in CPU usage when running two instances of your unattended robot on a VM with two processors, You can check the
Resource Allocation:
Ensure that the VM has adequate resources allocated, including sufficient CPU and RAM, to handle multiple robot instances concurrently.
