Hi again,

The structure APP_INIT_DATA (still) contains a member called "hostid". 
However, the only reference to that member in lib/app_ipc.cpp can be found in 
APP_INIT_DATA::copy(), hence it seems that this member is neither written nor 
parsed (anymore), right?

As I want to pass a unique host identifier to our science app, I also looked 
at HOST_INFO's member "host_cpid". However, for some reason the value of this 
member on my host (in init_data.xml) differs from its respective (single) host 
table entry in our project database. How can this happen? I thought that this 
ID is created only once per host and doesn't change, or is at least consistent 
with its database entry. Can "host_cpid" be used as a unique host identifier 
at all - at least for a given project (doesn't need to be unique across 
projects)?

FYI, I want to avoid contructing such an identifier myself if possible (like 
MD5 sum of domain_name+ip_addr and such) for technical reasons...


Thanks,
Oliver
