Is there a way to get the Machine name as a variable

Hello - I need to pass the machine name that the job ran on instead of the "friendly name" of the agent connection.  <JobAgent>  is the name of the connection, but I am not finding one for the machine name.  Does anyone have a method for getting the machine name placed in an email?

 

Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

 

Here's an easy way to do this AgentName = "friendly name" + machine name

This should be a part of your naming conventions, Tidal Standards

Derrick - Thank you for your suggestion.

 

We keep our AgentName generic across environments to reduce Transporter errors.

I name (or rename) my agent names to reflect the hostname of the actual box running the agent.  this way I can pass the hostname to a TESjob/process via the <Agentname> variable.

 

AFAIK, you can safely rename the agents from the connections view.  Referential integrity in the DB will repopulate the new information in all your TES objects
