Hi, there!
When I run 2 instances of Bet Angel, with different automation strategies on the same tennis match, I get only one log report for the match in the market reports folder, with data of only one strategy.
Is this happening because both logs have been sent to the same folder? Is there a way to set different folders for each instance of the software? Or is there any way of getting 2 (or more) market report logs for the same match?
Thanks!
Automation logs and market report folders
It is possible, but it's a bit of a manual process:
If you duplicate the Bet Angel folder in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Bet Angel Limited\Bet Angel - Professional' to make a second copy of the application and then edit the file BetAngel.exe.config in that folder..... you'll see a line <add key="ConfigName" value="Bet Angel Professional"/> you could change that to <add key="ConfigName" value="Bet Angel Professional 2"/> and you'll have a completely seperate work area as if the two instances were running on different PCs.

It worked just fine! Thanks a lot.
Can I do the same for a third or fourth instance? Any possible problems?

When a new version of Bet Angel is released, what should I do in case of having this second copy of the software running in paralel?
It's just install, as usual? Will I need to create the second instance again? Is there a risk of losing something?

The installation will update the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Bet Angel Limited\Bet Angel - Professional' folder, so the safest thing to do would be to duplicate that folder again editing the config files in the extra instances. If you're feeling more confident, then you could just compare timestamps between folders and just copy across the files that have changed.SantoOnofre wrote: ↑Tue Feb 05, 2019 8:33 pmWhen a new version of Bet Angel is released, what should I do in case of having this second copy of the software running in paralel?

There is no risk of overwriting any of your logs, Automation files, layout profiles etc for the second instance as that information is stored in the user AppData area of Windows and is not touched by the installer.
I'm trying to do this now.Bet Angel wrote: ↑Tue Dec 18, 2018 2:16 pmIt is possible, but it's a bit of a manual process:

If I open in Notepad++ I can't edit it. If I open in Notepad and try to save, it says that the config file is read-only.
Is there a work-around so that we can run multiple instances on the same machine and keep the reporting silo'd?
Thanks
Update: I was able to change the config file per Gianni's help, but now when I open an instance I can't get any markets to list in the Market Selection panel or in Guardian. (Oddly, Quick Picks gets populated, but when I hit Switch to Market, nothing happens)
I'm using 1.54.1
Any other suggestions?
