Hello, Is there a way to keep track of the status of a named query? Like, say, when the query is running vs. when it is completed? Regards ---

No, not available. Keep in mind that a single Named Query could be running in parallel from many simultaneous callers in a variety of scopes. The gateway does provide some query monitoring at datasource granularity. When scripting, you could send a message after the call returns to notify something else that it is done. ---

Thank you for the quick response. I will try to use your suggestion and have a tag update that could indicate when the query is completed.
