Hello, I am in need of a TCL script that can look at the its sending thread properties and set a variable based on the thread name.

I have found a few topics mentioning a netconfig proc that allows for variables to be set based on the sending thread. But, I have not been able to find anything concerning this use case.

More specifically what I am trying to do is set an MSH field with an arbitrary value based on what thread is sending the message.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  Here is something I had used in a translate.
  
  copy @null using the following preproc
  
  set xlateOutVals [xpmmetaget $xlateId DESTCONN]
  
  to a variable @destconn
  
  I think in your case it might be something like
  
  copy @null using the following preproc
  
  set xlateOutVals [xpmmetaget $xlateId SOURCECONN]
  
  to a variable @sourceconn
  
  You could then make your decisions based on the value of @sourceconn for your MSH fields….
  
  Hope this helps….

  In a TPS proc you can use [msgmetaget $mh SOURCECONN] to get the source thread name.
