Getting SID in mapping

[Former Member]

Is there way to get the PI's SID in mapping (Graphical or Java)?

You can get it by an UDF.

myUDF(){

System.getProperty("user.name")

}

that's because usually the instance service user in the OS is xxxadm, where xxx is the sid.

But that can be false to some specific installation.

A more correct method would be to read sy-sysid ABAP property.

user.name worked fine.

for sy-sysid, I guess ABAP mapping is required. I don't want to ABAP mapping.

Found in another thread that System.getProperty("SAPSYSTEMNAME");. This works great. I guess this is equivalent of sy-sysid.

Thanks guys.

good.

It's a little different of sy-sysid because it's not a J2EE specific parameter; it's a System Parameter (probably maintained during installation).

In windows, for example, you can check those if you go into Environment Variables button in the Advanced tab under the Properties screen for System, from Control Panel.
