Launching a Process

[PratyushLNU]

Hi,

I am trying to launch a process on any other server from the blueprism process itself. Is it possible? If so how should i go about it?

Example : Lets say i am running my process on server A and i want my process to run a particular process on Server B. Both the servers have the same bp licence.

Regards,

Hi @Pratyush LNU,

One way you could do this is to expose the process on Server B as a SOAP web service. Then the process on Server A could invoke it through a web service call. Of course this would cause the process on Server A to block until the process on Server B completed. In that case, you could look at the Process Dispatch Framework on the Digital Exchange as a way of doing this asynchronously.

Another option would be to have the process on Server A use Powershell to invoke the Autometc.exe command on Server B to execute the process. There are a few threads on the Community that discuss something like this.

Cheers,
