How to get Server Name

I need to get Server Name. Our Volume and Server names are different. I use the following for Volume.

Is there a function call for Server Name? Thanks for the help!

myMap = reportContext.getAppContext();

gReportUser = myMap.get("ServerUserName");

gServerName = myMap.get("VolumeName");

Could you pass the server name in through a parameter?

No. This is a scheduled job, doesn't have any parameters. Can't have any hard coding in the report. Reports have to work seamlessly across the environments.

Thank you!

Try this:

reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getServerName();

Thank you for the replay...

Says, I can't call the method. No errors on BRD Pro, as not looking at the context. On server get the error.

srvr = reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getServerName();

Couldn't you use the reportContext.getAppContext.get("ServerURL") call to do this?

I am trying to use this and it keeps coming back null. I am in a DataSource beforeOpen script function. 
 
var xml_url = 'http://'+reportContext.getAppContext().get("ServerURL")+'/'; 
 
I have also tried reportContext.getAppContext().get("SERVER_URL") 
 
 
This keeps showing <a class='bbc_url' href='http://null/.'>http://null/.</a> How do I get list of all AppContext IDs.....

You can see the keys in the AppContext map by putting this into a dynamic text box in your report.

reportContext.getAppContext().keySet().toArray().join("

");

And with this one, you can see the values.

reportContext.getAppContext().values().toArray().join("

");

If you're not using BIRT Designer Pro, you should be able to use reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getServerName(); to get the server name.

Hello, does exist some way to pass username which logined to OpenText to BIRT report? When I'm using this (reportContext.getAppContext().get("ServerUserName") ) in dynamic text element than I see nothing in report..

Clement Wong

What version of the commercial designer and iHub are you using? The username via reportContext.getAppContext().get("ServerUserName"); is returned for me in a Dynamic Text Report Item when run from the iHub.
 
Note, if you run from the Designer, since there is no username context, but you should still see "anonymous" as the output. Also, if you're using RSSE, you should still see the username.

Hi, Clement! I'm using non-commercial BIRT 4.5.0 and I'm running my reports via OpenText Content Server 10.5 which installed on TOMCAT. And my aim is to return username which ran report at the bottom of the report.

Since you are not using the commercial Designer or the iHub, you'll need to review this reply in this older thread written by a collegaue, Pierre Richer @ <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/34430-display-username-that-execute-the-report/#entry127652'>http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/34430-display-username-that-execute-the-report/#entry127652</a>

Good morning!!
 
What this "reportContext.getAppContext().get("ServerUserName") " returns...? Could you please help me. Unable to guess that.
 
Thanks in Advance.

If you are using commercial BIRT, reportContext.getAppContext().get("ServerUserName") will return you the username logged into the iHub/Information Console.
