System parameters
When you are creating a process with the TrueSight Orchestration 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.
System 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.
