In the OPC-UA Server Settings on the gateway, check ‘Expose Tag Providers’.

Blegh! That exposes all of your tags to all OPC/UA connections. Consider setting up a Remote Tag Provider via [Gateway Networking](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Gateway+Network).

I’ll second remote tag providers as the easiest/simplest approach.

Do you want to send tag values only between two Ignition servers, or from Ignition to any other application like an HTML page for dash board or your own application? I have a module called RMSCADA which communicates between Ignition server and third party applications over Internet or LAN.
