Workflow Activities
Last updated Nov 18, 2024
InvokeProcess
Executes a UiPath process that is available for the local machine. Can be used to run local packages, as well as processes in Orchestrator, if a connection is available.
For more information on how to find the list of available processes on a machine, go here
The Invoke Process API runs in Synchronous mode, meaning that the parent process waits for the child process to complete before resuming.
Logs generated by the child processes only contain the outcome of the execution and
errors, and are written in the same place as the ones from the parent and can be
differentiated by the
ProcessName field in local logs and
Process column in Orchestrator.
When using the Invoke Process activity, even though the project contains multiple processes, a single job is created for running them as opposed to the Run Parallel Process activity which creates separate jobs for each process in the project.
If there are multiple processes added, the active version on the current folder is the
one that will be used.
Note: Unserializable data types cannot be
passed between workflows (e.g. UIBrowser, UIElement, etc).
If a child process
is invoked but not found, an error is logged containing the name of the child process,
the path where Robot searched for it and additional details such as
WindowsIdentity and machineName.
Namespace: UiPath.Activities.System.API
Assembly: UiPath.System.Activities.Api (in UiPath.System.Activities.Api.dll)

)void InvokeProcess(
string processName
)processNameString- The name of the process that you want to run. Process Name should contain the name of the Package, as that is being used by the Robot.

)processNameString- The name of the process that you want to run. Process Name should contain the name of the Package, as that is being used by the Robot.
folderPathString- Indicates the Orchestrator folder in which the process resides.
entryPointPathString- The path of the workflow file that is run at the start of the process,
relative to the package root. If left empty, the default entry point is
Main.xaml. targetSessionInvokeProcessTargetSession- Specifies the session in which the child process is started:
Current- The child process opens in the same session as the parent one.Process Default- The child process uses the Process Settings.Main- The child process starts in the main session regardless to where the parent process runs.Picture in Picture- The child process starts in the Picture in Picture session regardless to where the parent process runs.
logEntryLogEntryType- Specifies the type of information to automatically log when entering the invoked resource.
logExitLogExitType- Specifies the type of information to automatically log when exiting the invoked resource.
levelLogLevel- Specifies the logging level applied to the messages generated by the
LogEntryandLogExitoptions. usePackageBoolean- Indicates whether the process should be identified by its package name (selected) or process name (not selected).
timeoutTimeSpan- Specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait for the activity to run before an error is thrown. Leaving this property empty waits for an infinite amount of time before throwing an exception. By default, this property field is empty.
