Sharing Runtime Servers

WadeBurns
Level 2
I am seeking information on sharing runtime servers as to reduce the number of servers required in the overall infrastructure.  Is there a way to pool the runtime servers and allow them to be dynamically allocated as a bot kicks off to run?

Hi Wade - your terminology is a little confusing. A BP architecture has 4 component types - database, application server, resource PC and client PC - and I'm guessing by 'runtime server' you mean application sever and by 'bot' you mean resource PC. You can use multiple application servers in parallel but the only way to add dynamism is to use a load balancer between the resource PC and the application servers. The resource PC 'thinks' it's connected to a server when in fact it is connected to the load balancer, which routes the connection to an application server. Without a load balancer the resource PC's connection to an application server is hardcoded.
