When to use Remote Process Sync over Service Bridge

[snehapatel]

I want to understand on how to decide between right ebonding option - Remote Process Sync (RPS) or Service Bridge when you have 2 separate ServiceNow instances.

Thanks,

I feel that RPS is like a superpowered version of Service Bridge, at least in the context of 2 instances.

Service bridge: keeps data between instances in sync. Easier to setup

RPS: keeps data and processes between instances in sync. Harder to setup.

If there is a need for processes to span different instances (e.g. start the process in Instance A and complete the process in Instance B), then go with RPS. Otherwise if only data needs to be synced, then Service Bridge.

I do not have experience in configuring either of them, this is just my impression from the readups and videos of the topics.

Please feel free to discuss your thoughts

Service Bridge uses RPS as its' core transport mechanism
