Hi,
I need to get the name of the process:

Used this: Process.GetCurrentProcess.MainWindowTitle

And it worked fine. but in some process I got an error. I solved this error by adding System.Diagnostics. Unfortunately, it does not display any name now. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

I can’t use “environment.CurrentDirectory” because “get process name” I want to use in the library. Sorry. I forgot mention that.

This doesn’t get the process name. It gets the main window title of the running job, so if you have a mainframe connection - for example - you’ll get the name of the mainframe window.

Hi @Paulina_x, @Gokul001 and @postwick

There is now a standard activity/object in Studio/robot which can get you the process name during runtime.

Get Current Job Info activity returns a Object containing runtime related properties.

In your case, you are looking for ProcessName. JobInfo.ProcessName will get you what you want.

The process name in this case was "ModernClassicDemos"

We have used this across our automations, not failed us ever! We use it to get the current workflow name where the robot is executing.

Here is the sample file:
GetProcessName.xaml (4.9 KB)

Hope this helps!
