Each workflow item has internal name which is auto generated by vRO platform. It looks like “item1” and can be spotted in logs . There is also item display name which is configurable by workflow author at design time and is shown in workflow schema editor . Starting with vRealize Orchestrator 8.0 there is easy way to access item name and item display name of currently executed item from the scripting element itself.

Here is an example…

// Item name is auto-generated by the platform
name = System.currentWorkflowItem().getName();
System.log("Name: " + name)

// Item Display name can be specified by workflow author.
itemDisplayName = System.currentWorkflowItem().getDisplayName();
System.log("Display name: " +  displayName)

And output from one example workflow run should look like …
