As y6ou might know, you can use the Junction activity to wait for multiple braches to complete before continuing.
This is a very nice feature but it does have a limitation. You can only select published data from one of the branches.
Some times you want to have for example 2 branches that does the same job in different ways (see picture above).
In this case you really want to map the result from both of the “Get checkpoint” to the Manage Checkpoint activity.
in this case the Junction is not the right choice!
Actually you can do a little trick and map multiple values to one field
It has its limitation too though. you have to make sure that only one branch is executed!! Otherwise your runbook logic will fail!
just link the branches directly to the next activity
and then map both of the published results to the field needed
A neat little trick is to use the Run .Net Script to merge the data into one published data
Inside the Run .Net Script (Passthrough) you write this simple script:
creating one variable containing both of the mapped values and then you only have to configure the published data to publish the variable.
Great little way of simplifying multiple branches in orchestrator
Hey,
this could be very helpful if I knew where to get the activities from. Do these Checkpoint Activities have an integration pack?
