Hi team,
I am working with a prospect who has this very specific requirement and they are currently evaluating both AA and UiPath. The requirement in a gist is the prospect wants an "Active-Passive HA" at bot runner level. Let me add some details to clarify the requirement.
- The prospect will procure 2 bot runner licenses and they will be running on different machines.
- One bot runner - let's call this primary - will be executing the bots that are it has been assigned to run.
- Second bot runner - let's call this one secondary - will have the same bots assigned to it as the primary one.
- The secondary bot runner stays in "listen-only" mode when the primary bot runner is functional. It does not care how many queue items are there in the primary bot runner's bucket or how busy it is.
- The secondary bot runner jumps into action if and only if the primary bot runner goes down - for whatever reason. It then continues to function as primary till the actual primary comes up.
- The the original primary again assumes the role of primary and secondary goes back to "listen-only" mode.
I hope I have been able to explain my issue. Please do let me know if you folks have any questions. I am more than happy to try and answer them. Looking forward to guidance from the experts here.
