To start a process in different appian environments

Hi all,

I have a use case where we want to start a process (process model independent of parent process) in different Appian environments from its parent process model.

So we need to accomplish an action in appian environment 1 and appian environment 2 once certain actions are completed in appian environment 3.

PM in appian environment 3 should trigger PMs in Appian environment 1 & 2 upon its completion, we cannot use web API or integration here.

So I wanted to understand if we can make use of 'start process by email' option to start multiple process which are in different appian environments.

Also if we have any other better approach for this scenarios? Any suggestion here much appreciated.

Thanks,

Preji

    Hello

    Can you have or create common resource connection like JDBC/Share point folder ? If yes, then you can send one file or data to external folder or JDBC(linked to lower environment)  from environment 3. And add schedular process accordingly in environment 1 and 2 in order to check data or file and then start the process.

    However, adding schedular might have performance impact in env 1 and env 2.

    That's easy. Just expose a process via a web API and call that form the other system.

    As I mentioned in the problem statement, usage of web API isnt allowed/accepted.
