So create a context.variable which would be either set to LIVE or TEST depending on what environment it is on?

Hope that makes sense

Are you asking how to check a global to see if the system is Dev/Test/Production as per the "System Mode" dropdown in the "Memory and Startup" page in the SMP?

If so, then this is stored in the following global:

^%SYS("SystemMode")

It should have values like "DEVELOPMENT", "TEST" and "LIVE"

Hello Adrian,

Some people already talked about the system mode for the portal, but John (one of your commenters) previously wrote a different post about adding information to the terminal prompt itself which may be useful as well:

There's a documentation link on that page, but you can have your terminal be prefixed by host name or instance name, for example.
