Concurrent BP Server services on the same machine

foehl — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 11:21:00 GMT

Is it possible to run two Blue Prism Server services at the same time on the same machine? Specifically I'm looking at the use case of creating a production and non-production environment on the same machine.

I have tried to do this by setting up two databases and creating a connection to each database. I then configured two services using BPServer.exe one using the connection to the production database and open on port 8199, and the other connecting to the non-production database and open on port 9299.

I am able to get both services running separately, but if one or the other is already running, I am unable to start the second service.

Is this something that should be possible, but I have configured incorrectly, or is it just not a feasible deployment model? Do I need to look to use a separate server machine for each environment?

Hi,

If you are using Blue Prism 6.6, it is a known bug that you are unable to run more than a one service per server without extra effort.
You can find the KB here:

Thanks Petri. I've implemented one of the workarounds from that article which has fixed the issue for me for the time being so I have both services up and running.
