Create Related Object

Applies To: System Center 2012 - Orchestrator, System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator, System Center 2012 SP1 - Orchestrator

The Create Related Object activity is used to create a new Service Manager object that is related to other existing objects either by membership or by a hosted relationship.

The following published data elements are specific to Create Related Object. Additional published data is generated based on the class that you select when you define the activity. For a list of the data elements published by each class, see Service Manager Published Data.

Certain classes contain a mandatory ID property which requires a GUID. Generating a GUID is the responsibility of the workflow author, and can be generated using a .NET scripting activity with the following procedure.

To create a class with an ID property

  1. Create a Run .NET Script activity using the following method: $GUID = [guid]::NewGUID().

  2. On the Published Data tab, define the GUID variable using the following settings:Name: guidType: StringVariable: GUID

When the .NET Script Activity runs, it will generate a GUID that you can subscribe to in the ID property of the activity you are creating.
