How to find machinename the appserver is running on?

Posted by goo on 31-Jan-2017 06:42

we have several environments (developing, testing, testing2, production) and I would like to find the machinename on where the appbroker is running. Each environment can be running on either windows or linux. 

What would be the best way of getting that?

I do something like this:

define variable v-hostname as character no-undo.

if opsys = "win32" then
  v-hostname = os-getenv( "COMPUTERNAME" ).
else
  do:
    input through value( "uname -n" ).
    import v-hostname no-error.
    input close.
  end.

message v-hostname view-as alert-box.

Could I use os-getenv('HOSTNAME') on both windows and linux?

if opsys = “win32” then
    assign vHostName = OS-GETENV(“COMPUTERNAME”).
else
    assign vHostName = OS-GETENV(“HOSTNAME”).
 
I think that will do it.

Not sure about that, but if you grab smtpmail from oehive.org, you could use the gethostname.p program included in there.  It addresses both Unix (via uname -n) and Windows (via a wsock32.dll call).
 
Good luck.

While os-getenv( "HOSTNAME" ) works fine in an interactive session, on my Centos 5.5 box an AppServer always returns unknown value - this may be related to stackoverflow.com/.../unable-to-get-os-getenvhostname-work-during-the-startup

INPUT THROUGH VALUE("hostname").

DEFINE VARIABLE host AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.

IMPORT host.

INPUT CLOSE.

MESSAGE host VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
