Process scheduler runtime parameter

Question

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a fairly clean method for determining the process scheduler an app-engine is running on at run-time (NT or UNIX). I need to set a file path that is obviously dependent upon the server the process is being executed on. I understand the GetEnv command can be used, but I don't want to set an environment variable for this particular instance (it does not reside under the PS_FILES) path. I've searched peoplebooks for any kind of built in function or system variable, but was not successful (obviously).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

Okay, I may have asked this question a little too early. I apologize.

It looks like I'll just be able to query the process request table to pull back the server name:

SQLExec("SELECT SERVERNAMERUN FROM PSPRCSRQST WHERE PRCSINSTANCE = :1", &thisProcess, &server);

Evaluate &server

When.......

End-Evaluate;

Answer 2

Exactly :-)

There are a host of Process Request records that can give you the information you need. Glad that you found it.
