RE: [WDSCI-L] WebFacing and Specific Device

["Russell Kalchbrenner" <russ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How can you tell if it is being called by the Webfacing server?

That's what I was afraid of.

Well...hmmm.... I guess I could change the existing application so that it
checks to see if this job is being called by the webfacing server and if it
is, I can pre-assign a device at that time, otherwise I'll allow it to work
as it normally does.  That should take care of this.  I was hoping to not
have to change the existing code at all, but oh well...if that's the only
change I have to make then that's not bad.

Thanks for the information!
