Trapping pipeline name of pipeline under executiion and storing it in a flatfile or database

how can I track the pipeline name using pipeline parameters? Is there any way to pull the pipeline name which is under execution and send it in the pipeline?

    Once you run the pipeline, the file is stored in the same project space where the pipeline is located. You can download the file, and the data will be in human-readable format.

    The Directory Browser Snap on the output in the $Name it references the Name of the file on that location.

Thank you for your reply @Spiro_Taleski.
I had read over the documentation, but I am not sure how to actually get it to list the file names into another file. Which snaps should I use in this case?

    Great solution using the API.
    Similar to the OP, I would like to record the Parent Name in the actual error filename written by the child pipeline. It would make searching the error directory a lot easier.

    Just like the pipe.parentRuuid function looks at the parent, would SnapLogic consider adding pipe.parentLabel?

    OK for Error handling though you would need to do it twice to bury your error handling in a Pattern.
