Process Chain Remote 

Definition

Process chains can be scheduled as processes in additional process chains, which are known as meta chains. If the process chain you want to execute is in another system, use the process type Process Chain Remote, called remote process chain in the following. A remote process chain is a local process in the calling system that calls a process chain in this system, using a destination in another system, that is to be executed there. The remote process chain communicates with the other system and synchronously starts the executed process chain. After terminating the process chain in another system, this is reported back to the meta chain in the calling system.

Prerequisites

Before you can run a process chain in another system, you have to execute the following steps:

·        In the system to be called, define the process chain that is to be run there.

·        Maintain a destination for the system to be called.

·        Maintain a destination, that is displayed back in your calling system, in the system to be called.

Use

Using a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system.

Integration

In addition to remote process chains, you can also schedule local process chains as processes in a metachain. A local process chain consists of processes that are scheduled in the same system as the metachain. You schedule it as a process in the same system as the metachain.
