Before you start

IQ Bot [Local Device] package helps you scale by processing documents on multiple devices simultaneously using a device pool. You can set this up using workload management in the Control Room.

Workload management

If you are using a device pool, then you have to set up a shared file system so that all the Bot Runners can process and store documents at the same location.
This command performs parallel processing at the folder level, so you have to set up input files in separate folders.
You must have the IQ Bot Services role along with the Bot Runner role to run bots in production. This is required so that the Bot Runner can access the IQ Bot server when using a device pool.
The package does not create new groups and the documents that do not match the existing groups are sent to IQ Bot Validator on the IQ Bot server.
