Hi All,

Can someone give me the steps and ways in detail to Automate Mainframe system from UI Path using Host On Demand?

I have gone through the various methods of doing it but not sure which is the best way of doing it?

  1. Using Terminal activity? Not sure if I can connect to using session file or not?
  2. Using Java Access Bridge
    Please suggest.

Thanks in Advance,

Welcome to the forum

Give a try on:

  • terminal Activities
  • Connection Type: EHLL
  • attach to an existing session or let use a *.ws file config

Once the connection is established the different activities for reading or entering data are working straighforward and allows to do automations.

Thanks for the response , However we dont have direct access to terminals … It has to be used via Host-On-Demand .

When using the Java Based Host-on-Demand(IBM Tool) Application Launch Application and Uipath was not able to identify the elements of Java Applets

However - I have fixed that issue by fixing JRE issue with UIpath.

I found this link - https://rpabotsworld.com/java-extensions-issue-in-uipath/ has explained it well.

Hello Friend.
Did you find out how to automate your process?

I need to create an automation for the IBM 5250 mainframe, but I am in the same situation, I only have access to Host-On-Demand.

I found in the documentation that it is possible to use an API to make the connection with javascript, however I have little knowledge about it.

Could you help me if you found out?
