ERICOM PowerTerm Interconnect - Connection

How to connect to PowerTerm Interconnect Terminal Emulator?

The tests were performed on PowerTerm Interconnect version 9.1.0.203 and alter. 

Before opening a Terminal Session Connection within UiPath Studio please check the terminal type connection from the terminal emulator connection.

From terminal's menu configure the Terminal Type as 3270 Display or 5250 Display, as well as Host Name IP and Port Number (below 127.0.0.1 and 99 are just placeholders to be replaced with your values)
.

This connection can be saved with Save As... and have it in Sessions List in order to use it directly next time. 




In UiPath Studio, install latest UiPath.Terminal.Activities package.

Drag Terminal Session activity and configure the connection:

Provider: IBM EHLLAPI
EHLL dll: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ericom Software\PowerTerm\hllapi32.dl   -> this is the default path, choose the path where the terminal emulator is installed
