Connection to Run 8
When TSCAD starts, you should also notice another window also appear called the Run 8 to External
Dispatcher Bridge. This program facilitates the communication between Run 8 and RabbitMQ.
As you can see on this screen shot, both Run 8 and RabbitMQ are connected. You should just minimize
this window and let it be. Note: shutting down this program will prevent TSCAD from communicating
with Run 8.
When you are finished with TSCAD and shut it down, TSCAD will also shut down the dispatcher bridge
program.
