Summary
This sample Verastream Scripting Language (VSL) code allows you to determine what operating system platform a Verastream process is running on.
The code can be cut and pasted into the Process Integrator VSL editor. Or, the code can be defined and loaded in a sub-application, if you first remove the FUNCTION START START section.
Determining the Operating System
Use the VSL STATUS on STATUS command to determine the operating system platform, reroute the status output to a string, and then parse the string.
The following code sample checks for UNIX (U), Microsoft Windows (N), or OpenVMS (V). The default is OpenVMS.
Linux is returned as UNIX, and Windows NT 3.5 through Windows 2000 are all returned as Windows NT. However, there are usually differences in the long string returned by these operating systems, and you can edit the script to determine specific systems based on this information. This code could also be expanded to recognize the AS/400, HP3000, and OS/390 operating systems.
