Hi Edgar, sorry about the late response. I've been travelling without Internet access.
Well, I took the code Rodrigo provided and modified the client to make the dup after the creation of the new inter communicator, without 1 process. That is, I just replaced the lines 54-55 in the *removeRank* method with my if-else block. I tried this because call a new create after the first create did not work and I thought it would might be the communicator . So, I tried to duplicate the inter communicator to see if worked. Thanks. Thatyene Ramos.
