Pega Scaling
I have some scaling questions as I am now going to have more than 1 BOT running. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
1. Can I have 2 BOTs run on 1 RDA machine without Robot Manager? Or, is there a way to have the Runtime Config file point to multiple BOT files? How would that work on an RPA Server?
2. What is the best way to work collaboratively on the same solution wihout stepping on each others toes?
3. My solution is large and takes some time to build. How can I modularize my solution so I only test a particular automation at a time?

- No, you may only have one instance of Pega Robotics Runtime running at a time for one user of the Windows session. This is for both RDA and RPA.
- Separate your solution into separate projects. Each project should operate on a specific adapter or application with automations and other parts specific to and only operating on that adapter. Your developers would then agree on their automation inputs and outputs so that they are consistent. In your controller project (the one that references the others) is the only place where the developers work would need to be interacted with.
- See above. Create a project for each adapter and test those automations individually. When you are certain that your automations work, you can simply integrate them with the controller project and know that they will work.

So for #1, If I have an RPA server, I can only run 1 BOT on that server. I was under the impression that an RPA server would be able to run multiple BOT automations.
