How to use custom pillar with salt orchestrate?

Question

is it available to set custom pillar for salt orchestrate.

In the manual I found this:

    salt '*' state.highstate pillar='{"update_archive_name":     "new_archive_name.zip"}'

This example works fine.

But I need to set custom pillar for orchestrate procedure. I try like this:

salt-run state.orchestrate orchestration.install_update pillar='{"update_archive_name": "new_archive_name.zip"}'

And this variant doesn't work.
