Can we use the process sharing option in projects between two RM servers?
DNG: 6.0.6.1
We are using two RM instances RM1 and RM2.
We are using a project area to share the process configurations to other projects in RM1. Similarly we need to share the process template to projects created in RM2 also.
Can we share the process to projects in different servers also. Please provide the steps if it can be done.
One answer
In general Process sharing works across different servers. Just be aware that RM has a lot of process e.g. the type system, that is not part of the process sharing functionality.

Thanks for the info Ralph. Yes we do have some different attributes specific to projects. the permission needs to be properly added.
One query on this, suppose I have shared process i.e. consider Project B inherits the process from Project A. But in Project B we add an attribute in the Artifact type, now we try to give the permission in Project B alone. Will it break the inheritance for other permission configuration?
Type System cannot be shared.
You need some automation for the same.
I do not have a lot of experience with this and how it will look like if you use process sharing here. If this works, only a very limited set of capabilities are maintained in the shared process e.g. permissions. A lot is maintained somewhere else in DNG.
For the type system aspect, see https://jazz.net/library/article/92554
