Scripts "know" if they're part of a Distributed Test?

Question

I know this may be an odd question, but is there a property or function that a script could examine to determine if it is running as part of a NetworkSuite or a distributed job? There are parts of my script I'd like to be able to execute if it's not running as a network suite, and I don't want to have to rely on someone else setting a project suite variable to jump around that functionality.

Thanks!

Hi WillTo do this, you can check the value of the [url= http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/14313]NetworkSuite.State[/url] property. If the value of this property equals ns_SlaveRunning, this means that the slave project is involved in distributed testing.For example:&nbsp;//...if NetworkSuite.State == ns_SlaveRunning;&nbsp;//You can also use the constant value (10) instead of the constant name (ns_SlaveRunning)Log.Message('The test runs as a part of distributed testing');//...I hope this helps.
