I have two orchestration jobs, A and B. Inside A, a grid variable is configures and a grid iterator is set. On each iteration, job B is set to run.

How can I access the iterating variable inside the components of the job B?

You must be using Grid Variable Mapping.

&nbsp;

Define a variable in your job B. You can pass values of your Grid Variable from Job A to the variable in Job B using Grid Variable Mapping.
