How to change the name of a Workflow Run

[mg1978]

Hi All,

we have a self service portal based on the orchestrator and it works very good. We deployed since January more the 300 VMs over this portal.

I would like to change the name of the workflow run to the name of the user which start the run. I have a action (getCurrentLdapUser) where I get the name of the requester.

The problem is to find a run under all the requests, because the runs are named like the workflow and only the date and time are there.

Have somebody an idea if this is possible? If the requester submit the request and the workflow run starts to change the name of this to the requester name + date and time ?

Hi,

within a Scriptable task workflow will return you the current workflow run as WorkflowToken. The attribute WorkflowToken.name is read-only attribute (untested but documented) so I think you have no change to change this. But you can test this.

Regards,

Chris

OK I tested it. You can't set WorkflowToken.name to any other value.

workflow.name = "None";
System.warn( workflow.name );

Name wasn't changed
