Orchestrator Workflows
You access these workflows from Library > Orchestrator > Workflows in the Workflows view of the
Orchestrator client.
Start workflows in a
series
Runs a workflow multiple times in a series, one instance after the other. You
provide workflow parameters in an array. You also provide a property list,
with one property per workflow input, for each instance of the workflow
that starts. The number of properties in the array define the number of
workflow runs.
Start workflows in
parallel
Runs a workflow multiple times, with different parameters. You provide
workflow parameters in an array. You also provide a property list, with one
property per workflow input, for each instance of the workflow that starts.
The number of properties in the array define the number of workflow runs.
Troubleshooting Workflows
You access these workflows from Library > Troubleshooting in the Workflows view of the Orchestrator
client.
Export logs and
application settings
Generates a ZIP archive of troubleshooting information that contains
configuration files and server, configuration, wrapper, and installation log
files. The output directory must exist and Orchestrator must have writing
permissions.
Tagging Workflows
You access these workflows from Library > Tagging in the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
Find objects by tag
Finds objects by the tags assigned to them. You provide the names and
values of the tags and the workflow returns a list of the objects to which
these tags apply.
List workflow tags
Lists the tags assigned to the workflow you specified as an input parameter.
Tagging example
Demonstrates workflow tagging.
Tag workflow
Assigns a tag to a workflow. You must specify the workflow you want to tag
and the tag name and value.
Untag workflow
Removes a tag from a workflow. You must specify the workflow you want to
untag and the tag you want to remove from the specified workflow.
