Getting Process ID of Background Process

priyasangle1 — Mon, 05 Jun 2023 17:13:00 GMT

I need to get process ID of "BluePrism.MessagingHost.exe" for which I am using Utility: "BPS Utility - AttachAssist" and Action: "FindProcess ID". When I run the action it gives me Error "Application Exception..." Screenshot attached. When I tried same action for "chrome" it gives me Process ID correctly but does not work for background processes like "BluePrism.MessagingHost.exe" or "Automate".

I observed that this action works only for processes running in the foreground.

Can someone help me on Getting ProcessID of "BluePrism.MessagingHost.exe"?

Thanks 🙂
