====== Host Adaptor 3270 ======



===== Introduction =====

This adapter is used to run tests on the 3270 Host Adapter. This adapter 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 Adapter object.

===== Macro generation=====

As already mentioned in the Introduction, with this adapter, it is possible to generate macros that allow to automate tests in systems "transformed to HTML". We are going to explain how to record a series of keyboard actions, in order to execute them later.\\ \\  We connect to the 3270 emulator:  

{{ :1emulador3270.png?&400 |}}\\ 

Click on the Macro option to record the test and then check the Record option in the drop-down menu that appears.\\ 

{{ :2emulador3270.png?&400 |}}\\ 

Give a file name.\\ 

{{ :31emulador3270.png?&400 |}}\\ 

And we start recording, confirming by clicking the OK checkbox.\\ 


{{ :4emulador3270.png?&400 |}}\\ 


Once we finish, we stop recording by clicking Stop recording in the drop-down menu.\\ 

{{ :5emulador3270.png?&400 |}}\\ 

And confirm the stop by clicking on the OK checkbox.\\
 
{{ :6emulador3270.png?&400 |}}\\  

This process generates a **toExport** file that is automatically saved in the following path:\\ **C:\Users\xxxxx\jagacy_data**\\  where **xxxxx** will vary depending on the name of each user. Later we will need to find this file to import it.\\  



Next, access the TAST tool.
  * We check the new diagram box and access Domain, Project, Folder, Diagram name and Diagram description, as we always do when we design a new diagram. Then the Canvas or blank canvas appears. 
  * Access the toolbar and click on the Assistants box.
  * A drop-down menu with different options will appear. The options to choose are:\\   - Import from 3270 to 3270.\\   - Import from 3270 to HTML.\\ 
  * We import from the wizard the **toExport** file that we have recorded and saved in the **C:** Drive.\\
  *  In any of the two options provided by the Assistants box, a diagram will be automatically generated, which will reflect step by step, the whole recording process of the different actions performed and in which two adapters will appear, the User Object adapter and the 3270 adapter. 
  * Save and validate the diagram.
  * And finally, we will take it to the TAST client to execute it.
