Set TCL variables based on thread name

[Tyler Bouma]

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.

Thanks for both of your answers, David’s answer actually worked out perfectly for what I am doing.
