Interaction between Scoped Applications on Different Instances

Hey, folks!

 

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible for a Scoped Application on one instance to talk to one on another instances.  Throghout my googling, I've seen a number of different suggestions but haven't figured out the right approach yet.

 

I first tried scripting with an object called the "RemoteGlideRecord" as suggested in some forum online.  But it doesn't seem this is a thing since I can't find it in the serviceNow reference.  Only the GlideRecord.  So either it's no longer supported or was a third-party class or something?

 

Then tried looking for "remote instance" in my ServiceNow instance and found a section that seems to allow you to create and test the connection to a remote instance by specifying the URL and credentials to that remote instance.  But I didn't figure out where I would use that entry to then speak between instances.

The last thing I tried (so far) was looking into a plugin on the ServiceNow store called the "ServiceNow Remote Instance spoke."  I see that it has 1 out of 5 stars as a rating and seemingly one review.  So something tells me folks don't actually use it.  And I didn't look into it any further just yet as I'd first have to find out who in my organization would be responsible for getting the plugin.

So I guess what I'm looking for is the most recommended best practice for scoped applications on one instance to talk to another scoped application on another instance.

 

Thanks,

okay, so the link you provided is definitely a page I've come across and bookmarked when  I started looking into this...which is what led me to that REMOTE INSTANCE SPOKE they highlight.  And I assumed that would be the way to go since I don't necessarily want to synch data yet (INSTANCE DATA REPLICATION).  And felt the REMOTE PROCESS SYNCH would be something I'd do after I had the basics of instance interconnection down.
