Orchestrator Runbook "Links"

Question

Good morning!

I'm very new to MS Orchestrator so please give me your utmost support whenever possible. Thank you in advance.

I have created a Runbook

When the Check User script completed, There's a Published Data $CompareResult which is either "True" or "False". However, in the Link, regardless of how I apply a check, It will always proceed in all directions. Isn't the filter suppose to determine whether the action following the link gets executed?

Appreciate any advise.

Thank you once again and best regards.
Ronald

Answer 1

Hi Ronald,

you can download this sample Runbook from here https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkXRVOcQ_Bj_iLR_287BNf_tqL-2-Q?e=XuOhCi.

Since System Center 2019 Orchestrator the Windows PowerShell Version of the system exectuting the Runbook will be excuted in "Run. Net Script" Activity. For previous versions check https://sc-orchestrator.vasol.eu/run-the-powershell-version-of-windows-executing-the-orchestrator-runbook-service-in-run-net-script-activity/

A checked-in Runbook will always be executed from the Account running Orchestrator Runbook Service. Only with Runbook Tester a checked-out Runbook will be executed from the user running Tester
If you want to get Who started the Runbook from the Orchestration console take a look at: https://blog.ctglobalservices.com/automation/jgs/who-started-the-runbook-from-the-orchestration-console-use-this-runbook/.

Hi! Andreas,

Strangely, Your sample shows the CompareResult but mine doesn't. As such, I do not even know what are the Published Data being forwarded from point to point.

Is there a reason behind this, be it the version or a patch?

Thanks and await your kind advise.

Best regards.
Ronald

Answer 3

Hi Ronald,

if you mean the input you make in the "Name" column under PublishedData, then you can have a blank space. What is important is that your variable (what you enter in the "Variable" column) stays without a blank space. Exactly as on the screenshot "Published Data" from the "Run .NET script" activity.

Hope I was able to answer this.

Answer 4

Hi Andreas,

Thank you again.

Yes you got my point. I just changed the name to exclude white spaces but am facing a different problem.

Now whether it is true or false, it doesn't proceed to the next action. It is so erratic.

I followed every single logic there is but the program is playing me out.

Best regards.
Ronald

Answer 5

Hi! Andreas,

I noticed that once the standard condition "<Action> returns success" is removed, nothing will go thru to the next action.
