HciConnName and Post Procs

[Max Drown (Infor)]

Process: p1

Thread: conn1

Code:

proc test { args } {
   keylget args MODE mode
   set dispList {}
   global HciSite HciConnName
   puts “HciConnName: $HciConnName”
}

When this proc is called as a Post Proc, HciConnName is set to “p1_xlate” instead of “conn1”. Is this a bug or by design? If by design, is it possible to get the name of the thread dynamically in a Post Proc?

This is by design Max.  HciConnName is supposed to contain the name of the owning thread.  Since the route pre and post procs run in the Xlate thread what you are seeing is the name of that thread which is always _xlate.  FWIW the command thread is named  _cmd.

If you want the IB thread name at this point there are a couple of ways.  The more simple approach would be to get it from the metadata using the SOURCECONN key.  You could also store it in the USERDATA field of the metadata in an sms_ib_data proc

Thanks, Charlie.
