Hi,
I need to get the previous node name.
The previous node can be a MBInput node , JCN or a subflow.
Till now I am successful in getting the current node name, Message flow name and name for input/output terminals.
Is there any way of getting or an API like getName()???
Thanks in advance,
Amit |

I think you can't do this.
It's basically the same as asking a procedure to know the name of the procedure that called it.

If it was me (and it's not), I'd get the previous nodes to add a flag to the message indicating the source for your node to interogate.

You have got the current node name...
Store the same in env tree and access in next node ...

I am doing it, if the previous node is JCN but what in case for if the previous node is a MQInput node or an input coming from a Subflow to the current node.
Thanks,

| I'm assuming that you need to know what flow/route was taken? if so why not put a JCN or ESQL in the flow to set a name/context. |

| If you are attempting to track the progress of a message through your flow, maybe there are better ways to do that. Maybe Tivoli have a tool for this? |

If the previous "node" is a subflow then that's perfectly capable of storing data.
If the previous node is an MQInput then the stored data is the lack of stored data....

also in that case one has to apply dirty logic to distinguish between subflow input and MQIinput... something like if its from subflow then previous node names wud be populated...
