How can I get the Tenant name in process (as a variable)?

Help Orchestrator

Hi there,
so I was wondering how to tackle quite common scenario where we have a process running nice in Test environment and when moving to production we realize some fields have different names, or we need to skip some steps etc. If to adjust the code to production then it won’t be working on testing environment.

So I thought about creating an If condition based on the environment. In my case environments are layered by respective Tenants in Orchestrator. So conveniently the best way would be to retrieve somehow the tenant name within the process and check it.

Is there a way how to do it? Thank you!
Roman

update: I actually find a neat solution, to have Asset in both environments with same name, that will store the environment name. Like asset “environment”. In testing it would have value “testing” and likewise in production. But - anyways - is there a way to retrieve Tenant?

@Roman_hruska Did you manage to discover how to do it? I’m facing the same scenario

Hello Folks
My approach for this cenario is prefer using input arguments in main workflow always possible. So we can set up trigger with information that process needs to runs well.

Taking process A for example:
Trigger 1: It runs on monday and generates weekly reports (input weekly)
Trigger 2: It runs at last day of month and generates monthly reports (input monthly)

So you can get these at run time and decide what robots should do for that execution.

The reason for that is sometimes the process changes (in your cases the environment might be equalized in future). So we need working on the project to fix it. Using asset or argument we don’t need worry about it. We just change the type of execution.

For tests purpose, we can identify which tenant the robot is running making a GET call using Orchestrator HTTP Request Activity and passing it “/odata/Robots” (Any End Point that response with no sensitive data)as relative EndPoint. So, JsonResponse output variable gives me a key called Context that has current Tenant URL. Using it, we can do something more.
