$$PROD^XUPROD(): Production Vs. Test Account

Reference Type: Supported, Category: Signon/Security, ICR#: 4440

Description

The $$PROD^XUPROD extrinsic function is called by applications to check and see if the application is running in a Production or a Test account.

The Ask if Production Account [XU SID ASK] option on the Kernel Management Menu [XUKERNEL], asks if the current account is the Production account. It returns the following values:

• True (1 or non-zero)—If the answer is YES, the account is the Production account, so the current system ID (SID) is set as the Production SID.
  
  
• False (zero)—If the answer is NO, the account is not the Production account, so a fake value is stored.

The Startup PROD check [XU SID STARTUP] option can be scheduled for startup so that when TaskMan starts the SID is checked. The first check each day gets the current SID and compares it with the stored SID to see if they match.

NOTE: This API was released with Kernel Patch XU*8.0*284.
