When you are creating a process with the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio application, you can use system parameters to assign a variable value to a context item. The value for a system parameter is determined at the process run time.

There are three types of system parameters: JOB_EXECUTOR_USERID, JOB_EXECUTOR_CREDENTIALS, ROOT_JOB_ID. These parameters eliminate the need to prompt for input with an Operator Dialog activity within an operator process, or to define additional activities to capture this data within a standard process.

Description

JOB_EXECUTOR_USERID

Specifies the user ID of the person who initiated the process execution. When you are testing a process in BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio, the default value of SYSTEM is used.

JOB_EXECUTOR_CREDENTIALS

This parameter is always empty.

ROOT_JOB_ID

Specifies the Job ID of the top-level process that triggered the currently executing process. If there are multiple levels of called processes, this might not be the ID of the process that called the currently executing process. This ID is for the top-most process.
