Question
multiple automation queued in a single VM instance
Hi, I read through some of the existing posts, but not sure it answers my specific question...so here it goes.
I want to setup a single VM. Within that VM I would like to be able to setup a few automations that can be run. They will not run in parallel since Pega is not able to support. However, I am ok if they are "queued" meaning if one comes in first, it runs and if another is triggered it waits until the first one is done and then runs he second automation.
I'm asking specifically because we have some RPA setups where the majority of the work is done on Mon-Tues and then the VM sits idle rest of the week. Why can't I have a secondary automation on same VM using same bot to fullfill the rest of the week.
This allows me to effectively use VMs and bots.
thanks for any heads up

If using Robot Manager (RM), a bot must be able to support all workbaskets (WB) within a workgroup (WG). You could have as many workbaskets in a workgroup as you like (there's probably an upper limit, but I know that tens of them is fine). This would allow one bot to work through one workbasket and then move on to another.
If you are not using Robot Manager, then you can queue up the work for the RPA as you'd like. You would have to ask your PL about any licensing implications, but technically it can be coded to work from multiple queues at a time. Without RM, keep in-mind that you are responsible for providing the work and queue mechanism to the automation, so that can be built as you see fit.
