How to establish a Connection for mainframe (QWS3270 Secure)

[Kalishwari]

Hi,

I am new to mainframe. Please help me to establish a connection in qws3270 for the terminal type IBM-3278-2.

I have tried using ‘UiPath Internal’ option with hostname and port
and “IBM ELLHAPI” option with winhllapi dll ,but it showing
“There is error connected to Terminal error code:error” for the both the above mentioned options.

Please suggest me the best option to connect to the QWS3270 secure application.

Thanks,
Kalishwari.

1. Open QWS3270 Secure.
2. Go to options and choose Session.
3. Set HLLAPI session ID there and restart QWS3270.
4. Use above created ID in UiPath terminal configuration.
5. In HLLAPI function, use WinHLLAPI (case sensitive).
6. Remove check from EHLL enhanced .

Note: You have to start connection from QWS3270 manually. UiPath will attach to it.

[shantanu.khaladkar]

Please check in installable folder as “C:\Program Files(x86)\QWS3270 Secure\whllapi_64.dll”.

Hey Somehow, I am not able to login with my old account due SSO.
Talking about error, did you configured Session Id correctly in QWS3270?

[shantanu.khaladkar]

As you can see in Image EHLL session is set to ‘A’. So, you have to create same session id on QWS3270 using below steps:

1.Open QWS3270 Secure.
2. Go to options and choose Session.
3. Set HLLAPI session ID ‘A’ there and restart QWS3270.
