Hello,

i am looking for a way to exchange data between two Ignition gateways.

For example I need to update a SQL table from one gateway at the other gateway.  
And i need to write a tag at the other gateway.

Thank you!  
Lukas

A gateway network will allow you to create remote database access and remote tag providers.

You can use `system.util.sendRequest()` and `system.util.sendMessage()` across a GAN, too.
