Deployment

This part of the wiki is about using bots in production. There are extra points to consider when deploying bots in a 24x7 production environment:

1. Consider the best way of running bots-engine.
2. When errors in edi-files occur, receive a notification by email.
3. Use multiple environments; having different environments for at least test and production is standard IT practice.
4. Consider if edi files need extra archiving
5. Out of the box bots does not run as a service/daemon. In a production enviroment this is what you’ll probably want.
