The persistent dictionary from `system.util.getGlobals()` is global for the process running your jython code. It does not magically send messages from gateway to Vision client or vice versa. Use `system.util.sendMessage()` or `system.util.sendRequest()` to communicate among Ignition's distributed processes.
