NodeNameInPid

Specify behavior when InterSystems IRIS® data platform references the special variable $JOB.

Synopsis

[Miscellaneous]    NodeNameInPid=n

n is either 1 (true) or 0 (false). The default value is 0.

Description

Important:

This parameter has been retained for compatibility, but should not be used when building new applications.

When NodeNameInPid is enabled (n = 1), $JOB returns the process ID number of the current process concatenated to the node name. When NodeNameInPid is not enabled, $JOB returns only the process ID number, without the node name.

Changing This Parameter

On the Compatibility page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > Additional Settings > Compatibility), in the NodeNameInPid row, click Edit. Select NodeNameInPid to enable this setting.

Instead of using the Management Portal, you can change NodeNameInPid in the Config.MiscellanousOpens in a new tab class (as described in the class reference) or by editing the CPF with a text editor.

To change this parameter for a single process only (as opposed to instance-wide), use the NodeNameInPid()Opens in a new tab method of the %SYSTEM.ProcessOpens in a new tab class. See the class reference for details.
