Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible from within a TI process to determine it's own name. I'm looking for some sort of call I can make from the prolog to figure out the name of the TI process. I need to dynamically set the cube the TI process runs against and the name of the cube can be derrived from the TI process name. Ideally, I would prefer not to use any lookup cube(s). Each year these new TI processes are created and the old ones (and their assoicated cubes) are presevered for historical reference (2007 always hits 2007, 2008 always....). If I can figure out a way to pull this information the actual TI process itself can be identical each year with only the name changing.
Thanks
Brad

Re: Determining the name of TI Process
Brad,
You're not the only one wish a wish for this functionality, .. it would me really useful. It does not exist, I recommend you send an enhancement request through cognos insight. You won't be the first one to have requested this (maybe weight of numbers will get there in the end.)
The best you can do is probably what you are already doing - declare a variable on the prolog equal to the process name. You can also declare a global TI variable that persists for a chore or executeprocess chain should you need to know what a particular worker process was called from.
