Hi,

We are on baan 5 ( sp19 ) , I have developed a session using which i am creating a txt file and depending upon where i am running ( Baan Prod. Server or Baan Test Server ) it should generate a file name accordingly.... unfortunately i am unable to locate a function which can tell my baan server name or ip address ... do u guys know any of this function or similar one ?

One option which i have thought as a backup plan is to write a shell script and call this shell script via baan program which will return the server name via standard unix binary "hostname", but i would like to avoid this option so just wondering if there is a function directly available in baan to do the same.

Note : My $BSE path on both the servers are same , so i cant use $BSE related function to identify the server.
