Get System Name

Question

Is there a way for me to get the System Name so I can send it in an email message?

Answer 1

UPDATE: as of version 2.0.41, the Code Wizard will have two new functions:

1. getSystemName()
2. getServerNameWithPort()

These are added as the enhancements for feature #1271.

Answer 2

In a windows environment, you can get the computer name from the environment variable with this:

java.lang.System.getenv("COMPUTERNAME");

You can also rely on the DNS to identify the host name of the QIE server with this:

java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();

There is not currently an API to return the System Configuration -> System Name value.  We have entered an enhancement request for this feature.  (Bug# 1271)

Comments

I used the java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(); and that works quite well. Thank you for your help.

You are welcome.  Glad it worked for you.
