Host Adaptor 3270

Introduction

This adaptor is used to run tests on the 3270 Host Adaptor. This adaptor allows us on the one hand to run tests on HOST mainframe screens and also to generate macros that allow us to automate tests on “transformed to HTML” systems.

Configuration

In the initialization process, it is necessary to supply the information to connect to the Host 3270 server. That is the information of the Adaptor Object.

    3270 – We are going to fill in the necessary parameters of the adapter.

    Adapter: 3270
    Session Name: name that we want to give.
    Host:
    - VPS = 127.0.0.1
    - TAST1 = vipadpre.scger.pre.corp
    Port:
    - VPS = 3270
    - TAST1 = 23
    TN3270E = for the 2 environments marked. It is checked by default.

Predefined Functions

  • clearAndWriteField: clears and writes a text in a field in the indicated field.
    • Parameter Field: field number starting with 1
    • Parameter Offset: offset in the field starting with 1
    • Parameter Value: text.
  • clearField: clears the field with field number entered in the parameter.
  • containsText(Text): this function evaluates if within a host screen, there is a specific text that we define in this function.
    • Parameter Text: In the message mapping, the text that we want to find is added in the “Value field”.
  • getLenghField: gets the length of the field with field number entered in the parameter.
  • nextScreen:  this function advances directly to the next navigation screen (you will have previously had to go through it to find it). It requires no parameters in its coding.
  • previusScreen: this function advances directly to the previous navigation screen. No coding parameters are required.
  • readField(Field,Offset,Length): this function reads a field that we define in its parameters.
    • Parameter Field: position (numeric) in which the field is located.
    • Parameter Offset: position within the field from which you want to read.
    • Parameter Length: length of the field to be read.
      These 3 parameters are obtained by clicking the right mouse button, on the field we want to read.
