Prerequisites to run concurrent scripts

As prerequisites, you must have enough Bot Runtime licenses and random-access memory (RAM) to run concurrent bots.

  • Two or more Bot Runtime licenses available. See the following sections to learn about the Bot Runtime in each IBM RPA offering.
  • At least 40 MB of random-access memory (RAM) for each Bot Runtime instance. See Limitations when running concurrent scripts to learn about the limitations regarding concurrent running scripts.

Bot Runtime in the IBM RPA SaaS offering

The client computer must have more than one Bot Runtime license available.

In versions before 23.0.3, you can go to the License page (https://localhost:8099/web/en-US/license) on the computer to see how many licenses the computer has available. However, starting from version 23.0.3, the License page isn't available anymore because of the removal of License ID and License password and implementation of installation keys.

To check the total amount of Bot Runtimes that a computer can run, use the IBM RPA Client page (https://localhost:8099/web/en-US/ibmrpaclient) instead.
On the client computer, open the IBM RPA Client page and go to the Status tab. In this tab, you can see the number of Bot Runtimes in use, the total amount of Bot Runtimes that the computer has, and how many Bot Runtimes are available to use at that moment.
The capacity value is available on this tab starting from IBM RPA 23.0.4.

You can update the computer's capacity to change the total of Bot Runtimes that a computer can run. For more information about how to change this value, see Modifying computer's capacity.

Bot Runtime in the IBM RPA on premises offering

The client computer must have more than one Bot Runtime license available.

You can update the computer's capacity to change the total of Bot Runtimes that a computer can run. For more information about how to change this value, see Modifying computer's capacity.

⚠ Attention: Adding more Bot Runtime to your on-premises environment can generate additional charges. Contact your IBM sales representative to get more information about adding more Bot Runtime to your environment.
