in Ignition 8.0.16 and before,
when we use system.util.retarget("MyProj")
in the project launched, in the client statup script we was able to use getGlobals
to obtain the source project.
NomProject = system.util.getGlobals()['_RETARGET_FROM_PROJECT']
In 8.1.0, after a retarget the system.util.getGlobals() return an empty map.

This feature seem to be broken ?
Can you directly access _RETARGET_FROM_PROJECT? It should still be in the true globals map.
how to read the “true” globals map ???
https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/functions.html#globals
If it’s in the actual, Python-standard, globals map (which it should be, that code hasn’t changed) then in both 7.9, 8.0, and 8.1 you should be able to literally just refer to _RETARGET_FROM_PROJECT as a variable anywhere in your script.
globals() return a dictionnary , but there is no key “_RETARGET_FROM_PROJECT” ?
print _RETARGET_FROM_PROJECT return an error varaible is not defined ???
Ooops
I looked for globals inside a function.
Directly in the client startup script globals has a _RETARGET_FROM_PROJECT.
globals()
Return a dictionary representing the current global symbol table. This is always the dictionary of the current module (inside a function or method, this is the module where it is defined, not the module from which it is called).
