Obtaining Package ID from Within a Microsoft Test Script

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.0

When you write a custom detail status MIF, you may wish to obtain the package ID for the current package during the running of a Package Command Manager (PCM) job.

You should be able to obtain the name of the directory one level up from the current working directory at the time PCM launches the job. This is available because PCM changes the current working directory to the package source before launching the specified workstation command.

The parent directory name can be obtained from an executable file, or from within an Microsoft Test script, and then easily added to the information written by the administrator-written detail. For examples, see the BackOffice SDK Systems Management Server samples.
