Writing to Pipeline Parameters within Pipeline

Question

Is it possible to set Pipeline Parameters within a Pipeline - e.g. from a Mapper. To be clear I don't want to read a Pipeline Parameter I want to set it.

I would like to set a Pipeline Parameter to contain a business identifier, e.g. Invoice ID, or Employee ID etc. and from here, it may be possible to provide some sort of Audit capability.

ext_benp&nbsp;You can utilize the&nbsp;Pipeline Execute Snap&nbsp;to call the pipeline and pass/set the pipeline parameters. In the pipeline on which you will pass/set the parameters, you can capture the parameters:&nbsp;So, in the Dashboard -&gt; Execution Status -&gt; Pipeline Parameters, you will be able to see what have been set for the captured parameters.&nbsp;

SpiroTaleski&nbsp;I don't have a child pipeline (and I don't want one). I think the Pipeline Execute Snap&nbsp;only works if I was calling a child pipeline, Correct?I am trying to achieve something like the below where Audit Invoice ID could set a Pipeline Parameter before completing.&nbsp;I strongly suspect this approach won't work, I am trying to see if I can get some Audit capability out of SnapLogic without having to create special pipelines and messages which would impact performance.&nbsp;

Thanks for your responses. You have confirmed my suspicions. It does seem a gap that SnapLogic is unable to provide business metric audit capability without not insignificant customisations.&nbsp;
