Starting TestID

hsq · Post by **hsq** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 8:20 am

Hi,

Is there a sophisticated way/command/tool/ini to specify in hostmonitor what would be the first testID?

I explain it a bit more..

1. I have a fresh installation of hostmonitor
2. Creating a test
3. Setting up logging through ODBC to a database
4. in the code I put the testID as an output field

by default for the first test created the starting testID will be 1.
As it is an internal variable, can I change it somehow to start it from lets say 20001 or 47558?

Regards,
Gabor

No, you cannot change that.
What is the reason to change TestID? Do you use several instances of HostMonitor to record logs into the same ODBC table?

Yes, i'm about to design a fault tolerant / DR solution with hostmonitor.

You got the point, as a first thought, I was thinked about this.

Unfortunately if it is not working then we need to go on a different way...

Yes, there is different way. I think you may use %HM_FILEGUID% - unique ID of test list (HML file)

Alex,

I was not aware of this variable... You always come out with something from the darkness

But looks ok for my solution. Thanks for the quick advise.
