Concurrent BP Server services on the same machine

foehl

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.
