Hi,
I tried going through multiple Appian documentation and things are looking scattered to me and difficult to understand.
I would like to know how to connect Appian RPA with the local Java program on my machine to run the simple "hello world" and display its output on RPA.
Many thanks,
Khaiser

I think there is a RPA tutorial to run the local calculator application. Did you try this to get started?
yeah but it has nothing todo with java
OK ... so your use case is NOT to start some app and control it. What exactly do you want to do?
yeah, correct. I want to write a simple hello world program on my machine and then I want the agent to pick its result and show it as an output to the RPA variable OR Pass Parameters from Appian RPA to Java code and then push back the result to RPA
OK ... so your use case IS to start some app and control it ?!?!? Why does that calculator example not fit?
This is confusing ... can you explain exactly, step by step, what you want that robot do?
Hi Stefan,
After reading through multiple documentation I understand that in order to extend RPA services I must add a new workflow library (that must be created and deployed through Java).
I was thinking if I write a Java program on my local machine, I can somehow ask Robot to Select that Java file, run it, and get its result back on the RPA variable.
This was just a used case I was trying to learn how to move data from RPA robotic task to local Java program and vice-versa
