Terminal

The Terminal feature in Robility is specifically designed to simplify the automation of legacy mainframe systems that are accessed through terminal emulators. These systems, which often require manual interaction, can be challenging to manage efficiently. With Robility’s Terminal activities, users can seamlessly automate various tasks, including data entry, data retrieval, and complex system navigation.

By enabling communication with terminal applications, this feature eliminates the repetitive and error-prone nature of manual processes. It not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces the time and effort needed to perform routine tasks. Whether handling large-scale data transfers or executing specific commands, the Terminal feature ensures smooth integration with legacy systems while maintaining accuracy and consistency.

This automation capability empowers organizations to modernize their workflows without overhauling their existing infrastructure, making it an essential tool for businesses reliant on mainframe technology.

Limitations

1. This activity supports only AS400 mainframe, and the necessary application must already be installed on the system.
2. The emulator connection must be pre-configured manually in the system.
3. This feature supports a screen layout of 24 rows and 80 columns, commonly used in AS400 terminals. This layout allows Robility to interact with specific fields or elements by targeting precise row and column coordinates within the 24×80 grid.
