How to get the Library/File path of a dxp in Spotfire® using IronPython

Introduction

In certain cases the name of the dxp might be required to pass to any other system or retrieve it for logging purposes.This python script would be handy in such cases.The sample script provides the code to get the name of the currently loaded *.dxp or a library file along with the path its saved in.

# Get the name and Path of the .dxp file

from Spotfire.Dxp.Application import DocumentMetadata
dmd = Application.DocumentMetadata #Get MetaData

path = str(dmd.FileNameUsedBySave)
# To retrieve the name of the file
ReportName = path.rfind("") + 1  
length = len(path) 
analysis = path[ReportName:length]

print path
print analysis


#Get the name and Path of the library file

path = str(dmd.LoadedFromLibraryPath) 
# To retrieve the name of the file
ReportName= path.rfind("/") + 1 
length = len(path)
analysis = path[ReportName:length]
