It seems we don't have an implementation for it currently. The get_artifact function has the below grammer as per the spec. get_artifact: [ <modelable_entity_name>, <artifact_name>, <location>, <remove> ] We have few clarifications and questions over this. Do we need to use the get_artifact function only for input value assignment within a specific operation ? We have 3 options before as per the grammer 1. Retrieving artifact without specified location - without (location) 2. Retrieving artifact as a local path - with location as LOCAL_FILE 3. Retrieving artifact in a specified location - with location as user given path How does the orchestrator need to handle these 3 options With 1st option as per the example , it seems the orchestrator should host the provided artifact in a local path of remote URL and assign that URL to input variable. With 2nd option the orchestrator should store the artifacts in a local path (orchestrator provided ) and have that path assigned to the input variable With 3rd option the orchestrator should store the artifacts in a local path(user provided) and have that path assigned to the input variable With these 3 options we also have an option to remove the artifact after the operation execution. So the questions is when should the get_artifact be resolved ? Is it during the parsing or during the execution ? Regards, DJ
