Computer setup for H-TEST use

For being able to use H-TEST, it is needed to make a short configuration in the pc to let the program work as expected, be able to use the client, and avoid the security messages to come out every time that the tool is open. First of all, a set up for the client-permissions is needed. The configuration is performed following this guide:

Guide for H-TEST Host Adaptor (3270/5250)

This will be a guide to obtain and set up the necessary components to execute the 3270 and 5250 adapter with H-TEST.

1. Go to the directory “M:\PLM\10 TAST” and locate the folder “tk4-_v1.00_current”, and the files “jagacy3270-5.4.0.jar” and “tn5250j-0.7.6-TAST.jar”.
   
   
2. Download these files and copy them to your “C:\AppTast” folder.
   
   
3. Once this is done, to execute the 3270 adapter you need to execute the “mvs.bat” located inside the “tk4-_v1.00_current” folder for each time you want to execute a test. You open it, execute a diagram, and to be able to execute another one, you need to close it and open it again before doing so.
   
   
4. To execute tests with the 5250 adapter, first we need to set up the connection. If you want to test against any server, you can use pub400.com. You need to make an account, and you will receive two e-mails, one where you need to click the link, and another one with your user and password.
   
   
5. When opening the tn5250j the following window will pop up, and you will need to click on “add”:
6. A new window will pop up to set up a new connection, you can name it however you want, and go to the TCP/IP tab.
7. Here is where we will type the host IP, in our case, pub400.com. If you need another one, you will need to know it beforehand. This will also be used on the diagram. On the “device name” you can name it however you want, or use the “Use PC name as device” checkbox.

Once

is

its already set up and you can start executing cases from the H-TEST client.
