Hi,my friends.
I am currently trying to use IPC related activities. If I have two computers, each of them is running a Robot. Can IPC activities be used to communicate between them?
If not, do I have other solutions that can meet my needs in this scenario? If you can, please give me a simple example.
Thanks for your help

Hi,

It’s difficult according to the following post.

If not, do I have other solutions that can meet my needs in this scenario? If you can, please give me a simple example.

One of the easiest way (but inefficient) is to use shared file, for example.

Besides sharing files, are there other ways?

Hi,

I don’t have very good idea, but the following might work.

  • Use existing application like Instant Message etc.
  • Use existing system like EAI etc.
  • Create custom activity for it.

Can uipath build a server to get and reponse the http request then return some messages?

As far as I know no direct robot-to-robot communication is possible.

Maybe you could use Orchestrator for this purpose?

So if I want to communicate, I must have a server, build it myself or use Orchestrator？
