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.

```auto
NomProject = system.util.getGlobals()['_RETARGET_FROM_PROJECT']

```

In 8.1.0, after a retarget the system.util.getGlobals() return an empty map.

Can you directly access `_RETARGET_FROM_PROJECT`? It should still be in the true globals map.

[https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/functions.html#globals](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.

Ooops  
I looked for globals inside a function.  
Directly in the client startup script globals has a \_RETARGET\_FROM\_PROJECT.

```auto
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).
