How can I find strategy name

[Dave G]

I want to call a subroutine in URS and pass it my strategy name so it can record which strategies have been called and how often. Is there a way of finding out the name of an executing strategy? Is ther a better way of achieving the required result?

[Mark Newcomb]

Have you tried using the ERS monitoring.... it shows you how many attempts to use a strategy have been made, along with a breakdown in # and % throughout each part of you strategy whilst your strategy is running.

That's an idea, but you loose all the stats if you restart URS or Message Server. Other problem is that that solution is very resource cosuming for your servers.

This is ok visually, but I want it so I can record it electronically and analyse it later.

How about defining a function just before the subroutine call that attaches the subroutines name as UData
i.e. Attach['UD_Sub_Name','Subroutine Name Here']
Hope it helps,

We do it this way
We add a strategy name as one of the attach data parameters so that we know how far the call went and where the problem happened (if it defaulted, for example). It is not really cool, but would do the trick.
