Hi Marina,
In order to get the windows title from any application, you would need to get the 'Windows Text' attribute from the Win32 spied element as you can see below:
Here is an attribute whose name is 'Window Text'. You can use a Read Stage and use this element spied with Win32 mode. Note that this should be your entire outer window of the application. You can pass the input parameter called as 'Attribute Name' as 'Window Text' and assign a data item to store the result as shown below:
This is how you get the Windows Text for any application. Coming to your workflow, the issue lies most likely because you are not launching the application once the attach fails in your workflow:
As a best practice I wont recommend using retries in your business object. Instead try to attach of that fails try to launch. If your launch fails, throw your own custom exception message or rethrow the same as I have show above. In the page where you call this action, you can recover from the error, check if the error counter is less than max retries. If yes, then, increment the current retry count and use 'Kill Action' action and then again try for the same or else throw the exception out. Keep the retries in the sub page of your process than in the object layer.
The reason you should not nest the retires with object layer is so that they do not keep on multiplying like 3X3 = 9 times.

Hi Marina,
Check if this helps you:
Similar to your Process Flow. But, if I try to attach the window and it fails I kill the browser process and Launch it again.
For Kill the process use the "Kill Process" Function of the "Utility - Environment". (In my case I use Firefox)
The problem you have is that you don't re-launch the browser
Hope this helps you
Bye 🙂

Hi Marina,
Can you confirm once if you are selecting the windows area as shown in the screenshot below or not. You need to select the entire Application frame and not the inner window. Upon spying you will get attributes as shown below:
As you can see, the Windows Text is being populated upon spying. Also, check once the App Modeller Setting which you can see while selecting your root element. Verify if the settings are similar to what i have shown below:

Hi Marina,
It's looks like that you have "on startup" setting of your browser the option "Continue where you left off". Try checking "Open a specific page or set of pages"
When you close the browser and launch it again, you can navigate directly in the first tab.
Hope this helps you 🙂
