IBM Terminal Emulation - Error communicating with the emulator

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Firefighter

Hello,

 

I'm totally new to power automate and IBM AS400. Lately, I was trying to set-up a flow to automate tasks by using power automate desktop. However, it keep showing "Error communicating with the emulator".

 

Flow set up:

(1) Open terminal session:

Provider: HLLAPI

Path: EHLAPI32.dll

Session: A

 

Before running the flow, I have opened pcsws and passed through the configuration for PC5250.


It would be great if you can share your thoughts on connecting the terminal!
