You can run multiple instances of Robogator simultaneously, whether in the foreground or background. However, all instances share the same Account and Task collection. This means that if a Task is already running in one instance, it cannot be started again from another, as it's considered active across all instances. Each Robogator window displays all currently running Tasks, along with a note indicating if a Task was started from a different instance.
If the Task was started from another Robogater instance, it will appear like this:
This means that only one Task is running globally across all Robogator instances for the user Dundee, and this Task was started in another Robogator instance, specifically the one with the PID 11488.
And this is how it looks in the Robogator instance, in which the Task was started.
What should be kept in mind when multiple Robogator instances are running:
- All Robogator instances access the same Account and Task collection of the same user
- A Task cannot be started from another Robogator instance while it is already running
- Only the Robogator instance with designer mode is on can edit Accounts, Tasks, Parameters, Keys, and Settings
