@Michael ,

           We already provided the required details in previous thread regarding the  Terminal Connections and Property Details of the activities . We use the Normal Keyboard Page Down Key stroke to navigate Pages which is  logic we use and worked on Third party Emulator and not working on Uipath Emulator . Since the Work flow is client restricted we unable to show Screen shots. Kindly let us know if any further specific details required  and Thanks in advance

Hi @Sri_Devi

Please note that this issue for TN5250 has been solved in the v2.1.0 update of the Terminal Activities package.

Updating the package in ‘Manage Packages’ worked for me.

Yes, it is working with the new package. But we are facing a new challenge. Though the release notes states that resolution has been added for Direct Connection, we could not find any specific activity or property to do that. Also we could not able to find any alternative solution.

Would be of great help if we can get any solution for that… Thanks

Hi @palanivelu.pt,

For me it works by simply sending the control key ‘PageDown’.

Hi @willemvg,
Send control key is working for us… but we are facing issues with changing the display resolution of the mainframe. Though the release notes states that option for changing resolution has been added for Direct Connection, we could not find any specific activity or property to do that. Also we could not able to find any alternative solution.

Could you please recheck with the latest 2.1.0 Terminal activity package?
