ServerName Property Not Set

In OI 9.4 Has anyone experienced an issue with the ServerName property not being set when accessed from an engine running through the SocketServer? I run the engines in debug mode so they are visible and I can see the engine name but the property is empty when accessed through code. If the GetCommandLine() call is used it returns an /S argument which is the same as the engine name displayed in the engine info window, but this doesn't appear to be the same value as /SN which would normally be returned with Get_Property ServerName.

Has anyone else experienced a missing servername property? Should I just parse the GetCommandLine results of the /S argument if ServerName is empty?

    I had not tried the SERVERNAME property from an engine running through the SocketServer but interestingly enough I had plans to do so shortly for a project I'm working on. So your question prompted me to test this out for myself.

    I can confirm the issue you are seeing. However, upon reflection, this actually makes sense. I believe the SYSTEM object is a Presentation Server object, and thus any headless engine will not have access to it.

    I believe your use of having the GetCommandLine WinAPI returning the /S argument is your best bet to get the name of the engine.
