Is it possible to use InterApp communication on a replicated element?
Currently, we see the following error on the staging system:

2022/04/13 14:30:22.402|SLManagedScripting.exe|ManagedInterop|ERR|0|120|QA4|4|Run|Exception thrown:
System.TimeoutException: Timeout while waiting on responses: 851338dc-c6fc-4613-bf36-56dd81c6dfa5
   at Skyline.DataMiner.Library.Common.Subscription.Waiters.InterApp.MessageWaiter.<WaitNext>d__5.MoveNext()

   at Skyline.Protocol.Generic.RequestEventsInformation(SLProtocol protocol, ElementInfoEventMessage element)
   at Skyline.Protocol.Generic.GetEventsFromElement(SLProtocolExt protocol, String elementName)
   at QAction.Run(SLProtocolExt protocol)

On the internal test system, we receive an empty response. When switched to the original element everything seems to work fine.

InterApp Calls were never tested using Replicated Elements.

InterApp calls in the background use two technologies:

  • SLNet remote parameter sets
  • SLNet Subscriptions.

If one of those doesn't function correctly with replicated elements then InterApp Calls won't work.

I've created a task internally to look into adding replicated elements as part of our testing suite and see if we can get it working.
