Dynamic Cloud/Desktop Integration

In your Wolfram Cloud account, or any other remote Wolfram System, set up a listener that evaluates incoming messages and sends the results back to a specified channel.

In[1]:=

ChannelListen["remote", ChannelSend[#Message["ReplyTo"], #Message["Evaluate"]] &]

Set up a receiving channel on a desktop system.

In[1]:=

listener = ChannelListen["local"]

Out[1]=

In[2]:=

Dynamic[listener["Message"]]

Out[2]=

Send a command to the remote evaluator and notice the result in the dynamic output.

In[3]:=

ChannelSend["remote", <|"Evaluate" :> {$OperatingSystem, $MachineID}, "ReplyTo" -> "local"|>]

Out[3]=

Verify that the result is coming from a different machine.

In[4]:=

{$OperatingSystem, $MachineID}

Out[4]=
