Hi there:
My case is as below:
1 Use TC open remote desktop connection of Windows, then input IP, click connect
2 Switch to remote desktop of target server, then do some operation on target app of target server
3 back to local server do next step operation
Can TC do thin kind of work like I said? If so, how can I write the script to do like this?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Note: Only local computer installed TC
Champion Level 3TC is not able to interact with the contents shown in your Remote Desktop Window, because of how RDP renders its contents - the remote machine sends pixel-based representation of the screen, similar to a video stream. Therefore, RDP doesn't expose the remote UI in a way that allows object recognition. However, a possible workaround is to use mouse coordinates to click on various locations of your Remote Desktop Window.
Sorry for late, Thank you very
Champion Level 1This sounds like a distributed test where operations need to be performed across multiple computers. TestComplete used to support this but it has been depreciated. This is a link to that information. SmartBear recommends using a CI/CD pipeline approach.

Another option could be to setup the RDP connection to start a script to run the needed operation automatically.
What the others have said here is correct and work arounds are about all I know of.
Sorry for late, Thank you very much
Champion Level 1The short answer is no, and workaround is your only option. Screen coordinate automation is not recommended and flaky.
You will need to design a distributed test that run pieces in sequence across multiple devises https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/deprecated/distributed/index.html
