SYS_USER_NAME

Use the SYS_USER_NAME script function to retrieve the name of the user who has started the task. If this user is SMITH/DEV, the script function returns the string SMITH. You can start tasks manually, using the ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT script function, through Workflow objects or Schedule objects. For example, if the task in which the SYS_USER_NAME script function is called belongs to a Schedule object, this script function retrieves the department of the user who started the Schedule object.

Tip: You can also find information about the user in the execution lists. For more information, see Execution Data.
