Help Orchestrator
#1

Hi,

Can someone explain what is the difference between assets and parameters and how we can use orchestrator parameters.

Hy @Shaik.Yezdani,

ā€˜Assetsā€™ are values that can be used in many diferent proccess, for example, credentials for a certain system or website. In case of changes, the info must be changes in only one place.

ā€˜Parametersā€™ are arguments that must be passed to run a specific process. The are defined as in arguments.

Is this clear for you?

Assets are credentials and ā€œnormalā€ assets. For the normal ones I would recommend to use parameters. There is a historical reason we have them there. In the beginning we did not support parameters.

Dear @Shaik.Yezdani,

In Orchestrator we can create different Assets(AssetName,AssetValue).
Asset types can store a credential value, a boolean value , a text value or a number value.

Step to Use Orchestrator Parameters
In Studio you can use the below activities by passing ā€œAssetNameā€ .

  1. ā€œGet Credentialā€ (only for Asset type of Credential)

  2. ā€œGet Assetā€ (for Asset type of Number, Boolean, Text)

  3. Using above Activities we will get the actual ā€œAssetValueā€ w.r.t ā€œAssetNameā€ and this AssetValue are stored in an output variable in studio.

  4. Variable can be used as parameters and can be passed in the ā€œinvoke workflow activityā€.

Hope this could help :slight_smile:

Regards,
Geet M

@iamgeet thanks for your clarification. Apart from invokeworkflow we can pass the arguments through orchestration parameters also.
