  • The specified Credential JSON file should be accessible to the Buddy executing the process.
  • The Buddy should be provided with both Read and Write permissions to this Credential JSON file.

Concurrent QBO Jobs​

For our Buddies to concurrently execute two or more QBO processes, you need to satisfy one of the following requirements:

  1. The credential file specified for each process should come from different QBO user accounts. For example: If P1 and P2 are two processes that connect to your QBO, it is recommended that P1 and P2 use two different user credentials, U1 and U2, to connect to your QBO.
  2. If your organization cannot achieve the above requirements, you can still work with single-user credentials. However, in this case, the same credential JSON file must be specified and shared across all the processes.
