Existing script/method to reliably determine if instance is Production

[The SN Nerd]

I'm looking for a way to determine if an instance is Production.

I noticed there is a system property, glide.installation.production

However, this is set to true on every instance!

On HI, the instance in question is listed correctly as being Non-Production.

Is there a reliable, configuration agnostic way to tell from within the instance if it is Production or not?

GlideUtil.isProductionInstance()

However this is not available in Scoped Code.

1.You can create a new property and mark production instance by setting some values there.

2.In script use gs.getProperty() method to call this property and find out instance is production or not.

Thanks,

This needs to be a solution that can be applied to any given instance without any manual intervention.

Otherwise I'd just change the property that already exists and use that.

It should be noted that this API Call relies on the underlying system property: "glide.installation.production"

This will define the value that is returned, being either true or false.
