When I run the package and I want to trace my connection using the query :" select connection_user_name,connection_host_application,connection_host_name from $system.discover_connections" The connection_host_application field comes out blank. Can you please let me know if there is a way I can get appliction name in above scenario? Thanks I am trying to use application name in SSAS connection string in SSIS package.

So if I have storeed procedure that can determine what application name is calling this SP, I can react differently. wondering if Application name parameter is accessible after the connection is made, inside the queries.

Just a word of caution there, however, as I believe this would essentially render Connection Pooling useless.

We are having problems with a few of our procedures, but, the DBA could not really identify what was causing it because there are different applications and processes that use the same db login. By providing the Application Name in the conn string, DBA is now able to tell what is being processed from our application and what is not. Thanks again!

That way the locale setting is available, and localized strings can be returned, without having to pass in the locale with every query or stored proc.

I work at software support for a company and constantly need to set app names on connection strings as the original developers just didn't bother! We run 50+ sites across two SQL Server DBs (current & legacy) and tracing procedure calls from most sites is almost impossible without updating the live web.config (which is horrendeously bad practice!) There are also instances of app names being duplicated across multiple sites thanks to copy + paste so as you can imagine, it can get pretty frustrating!
