Automating Citrix
Hi,
If we have a web application deployed in our local machine and another app like Calculator in the Citrix Server,wants the automation to click the + in the Calculator when we press a button in the web application which is in local and also wants automation to click on a button in the web application when = is pressed in the Citrix, how many automations we need? As I understood this should be 2.Dont have a Citrix environment to check this.Read in Pega documentation, we have to deploy the same deployment files both on local machine and in Citrix since this is in mix-mode. So shall we call that we need 4 automations but two of them will be the same copies of other two?
Thanks,
Asiri

You should be able to interrogate the server side app and the local app, then have them interact with one automation using the two adapters.

I think the answer is 2 because you need the automation to be in the context where the event happens.
See this reference:
It is very important to place the automation in the context which contains the initiating action. In this case, the user clicks the M+ button to initiate the text movement to the Citrix context – Notepad application. Because the Calculator and the associated M+ button click event reside in the local context, the automation is in the local context.
