Retrieving current workflow name

[danielruse]

Is there any way in which I can obtain the name of the current workflow from a variable? I am thinking of a variable such as “this” in OOP languages (C++, Java, C# etc).

I need it because I want to add a log field (or just display it in the log message itself) that shows me the workflow in which the log message was triggered (i.e. the name of the sequence/flowchart or the name of the .xaml file).

I want it to be dynamically generated at runtime, not harcoded, that’s why I am thinking there may be a system variable or something that stores the current workflow.

Thanks!

Hi
did this thread helped you on this

Get project name - state name - workflow name from inbuilt methods

Actually, you can get the project name from the json. To do this (probably at some point during the Init phase), use Read Text file of “project.json”, then use Deserialize JSON and output that to a jsonObject variable. With that variable, you can reference or store the project name to your config dictionary. For example, Assign config("ProcessName") = jsonObj("name").ToString The other thing you want is the state name, well I believe there is no .net to reference that value, so you just need to…

kindly try with this and let know for any queries or clarification

Hi Palaniyappan,

I don’t think you’ve understand my question. I want to retrieve the name of the current workflow, not the project name or the activity.

Anyway, the post is related to my issue: I also want to improve the exception handling by creating a generic activity that will print a message containing the workflow in which the error occurred. None of the solutions mentioned in that post shows how to do that.

Thanks!
