I have to automate a mainframe application which is present on VT500 terminal using UFT. I just want to know
Is it possible?
what all is required with UFT( Any plugin/Addons).
Also please share the steps.
UFT has a Terminal Emulator add-on but I'm not sure if it supports VT500, in the PAM (Product Availability Matrix) it says that VT100 is supported but no mention of VT500. You can read more about it here.
Rational Functional Tester supports 3270 terminal interfaces. VT100 is considered a "dumb terminal", as it has one plane of data. 3270 is a richer terminal, and for proper testing, you should connect via 3270, rather than VT100.

We have an AS400 DB2 v7r3m0 system, to which we connect with PComm v6 emulator sessions. For a certain high-throughput printer, there's a stand-alone PC acting as a print server, with a PComm printer session.
I'd like to have that PComm printer session automatically start, make the connection, and log in, so I can have it run from Windows Startup.
I've been able to record & clean up a VBS macro that logs in once the connection is made, but not the connection process. Unless I'm missing something, macros cannot be recorded or run until the connection is made.
Is there a built-in process by which the connection can be made automatically..?
If not, I'm assuming it could be done with autECLConnMgr and related libraries in VBS, but the IBM documentation on that is a little deep for me. If that's the way to go, could someone provide an example..?
EDIT: This is the dialog I speak of. This sometimes precedes the opening of any emulator windows, sometimes from the IBM i control panel applet, and so it cannot be scripted through an emulator window way, and thus my assumption it needs to go through WScript.
Honestly, I think you should look into using the Windows scripting language AutoHotkey to fill in any gaps in functionality that you can't achieve by other means. Virtually anything you can do by hand on a PC can be automated using AutoHotkey, including keyboard and mouse input.
I want to set up automated testing of a GUI app (say Qt) on Ubuntu Server distribution (i.e. without phisical monitor and without window manager). How can I accomplish this?
GUI applications - particularly Qt-based ones- usually need some display to connect to. Otherwise they'll have problems rendering the GUI (e.g. fonts) and receive input (e.g. mouse).
The need for a physical display can be avoided through a virtual display however. See this Squish Knowledge Base artcile for hints on the usage of Xvnc, X11vnc, Xvfb and Xnest.
Running a window manager on the virtual display is still recommended. It does not have to be a full desktop environment. A simple WM does. GUI toolkits are not necessarily prepared
I'm using the SAP GUI for JAVA on a Mac computer. My colleague sent me the information on how to connect:
However, the Mac UI looks completely different:
Where can I find the screen to add a connection like on Windows? Thank you!
In my experience, you need to use the Advanced settings of SAP GUI for Java on the Mac to connect. Go to Advanced and check Expert mode.
Then enter your connection string as:
conn=/H/<saprouter>/W/<saprouter password>/H/<host>/S/<port like 3270>
In your example I'm guessing:
conn=/M/<host>/G/<group like SPACE>
You may need to add the service number like:
conn=/M/<host>/S/<service number like 4201>/G/<group like SPACE>
Your colleague has sent you a screenshot from the SAP GUI for Windows, not from the SAP GUI for Java (which would also run on Windows, but the SAP GUI for Windows doesn't run on Mac OS, of course).
Obviously the screens for both SAP GUIs are slightly different.
But you already found the screen for creating a new connection.
I don't see what is your issue here with interpreting and transferring the logon data from one screen to the other? The field labels are nearly the same.
I should make a program that simulates the behavior of a remote desktop but without showing the screen of the server to the client.
I can use any programming language, but the client must be on Android mobile device and the server's operating system must be Windows.
I do not know how to Start. I was thinking about two possibilities:
1- Use a socket. But the difficulty was to give commands outside of the programming environment.
2- Use a rdp already done but turn off the display screen (setting is not present in the rdp I know). Who can help me?
Thank you
I'm doing a fair bit of work in Ruby recently, and using
ruby script/console
Is absolutely critical. However, I'm really disappointed with the default Windows console in Vista, especially in that there's a really annoying bug where moving the cursor back when at the bottom of the screen irregularly causes it to jump back. Anyone have a decent console app they use in Windows?
I use Console2.
I like the tabbed interface and that copy works properly if text breaks at the end of a line.
Are you resizing the console window? I've found that the ruby scripts (irb, etc) that use the readline library don't work correctly with resized console windows (in XP or Vista).
Effectively I believe that the readline library expects the console window to be 80 characters wide, anything else and it goes bezerk. So far I haven't found a way to fix it on windows without giving up other nice features.
I have had some pleasant experiences with rxvt (comes with cygwin, does not need an x server running). Putty is also often mentioned as a good alternative.
You could also try to get xterm working :)
Powershell
Windows PowerShell is Microsoft's task automation framework, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on top of, and integrated with the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to COM and WMI, enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems.
