Hi,

My requirement is to populate a field in a table with the user detail who ran that job.

It may be anything, user Name or IP address or some unique value of the user.

Thanks,
Seema

System variable @LOGNAME will give you the user login name.

$LOGNAME is an available environment variable, so

Code: Select all

GetEnvironment("LOGNAME")

should do the trick.

I don't think that's true (if it were, it wouldn't have an "@" symbol in its name), but USER is an environment variable in most UNIX systems.

If you inspect the list of environment variables in the job log, you'll see LOGNAME. USER is there as well, but in my installation $USER is always "dsadm". $LOGNAME contains my OS user name.

I'm guessing that @LOGNAME in a server job must be getting set from $LOGNAME in the environment.
