GetEnvironment("ISUSER") in Sequencer

[ejazsalim]

Is it possible to get the userid of the person running a sequencer "GetEnvironment("ISUSER")" this works in a job but when I tried using this in USERVARIABLE in a Sequencer Job the job wouldn't compile.

My question how can i get the USER in a sequencer @LOGNAME gives me the dsadm id which is running the ds server.

We are using LDAP authentication.

Thanks
Ejaz

GetEnvironment() is only available in parallel jobs.

Please perform this test. In an Execute Command activity in a sequence execute the id command to find out the user that actually runs your jobs.

Then we may talk further about whether there's some easier way to determine that user's identity at run time.

I am using parallel jobs.

In the director logs I do see that ISUSER has my login id but I cannot get it into a uservariable so I can pass it on downstream

Please tell us what the id command returns. You may be surprised.

There's no reason you can't execute a command to get the value of an environment variable, such as echo $ISUSER - that value will be available as the output value of the Execute Command activity - possibly with added linefeeds converted to field marks.

You are executing parallel jobs using a sequencer, which is NOT a parallel job...it is a Server job. GetEnvironment() is available only in a parallel transformer.

Would passing ISUSER as a sequencer parameter for the sequencer give the desired result? Add a new environment variable ISUSER and assign it the value $ENV in the sequencer parameter list.

Thanks Ray and Jwiles.

echo $ISUSER worked

Ray I did not quite understand what you wanted me to do with the id command when I run that on unix it gives me the below output

jwiles that a very elegant way of doing it through $ENV

I wanted you to run id in an Execute Command activity then view its output for the user who executes jobs in the job log.
