Launching actor with a TCP service name from startup parameters

[M.Kuznetsov]

Hello James,

I am launching multiple clones of the same actor and I would like to give each of the a specific TCP service name. First idea

that came to mind was to use the startup parameters:

Unfortunately, these are available after the service name is already configured. I figured out that I could extract the data like this:

It works, but I was wondering if there is a better way to do it. How would you approach this?

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Max

That looks fine to me.  Maybe make your own "start up" subVI to contain all that code.
