Hi I need some help regarding opening a terminal session on a IBM i 5250 Emulator.

 

I downloaded the IBM i Access Client Solutions EHLLAPI Enablement Tool

 

This is the configuration I have

I'm using this link of IBM (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ehllapi-access-client-solutions-emulator)

 

This is the error I'm getting:

 

Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.SDK.ActionException: Error communicating with the emulator ---> Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Robin.Shared.Runtime.TerminalEmulationActionException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Robin.Shared.Runtime.TerminalEmulationActionException' was thrown.
at Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.BridgeToHLLAPI.HLLAPIActionsImpl.<>c__DisplayClass16_0.<Open>b__0()

at Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Robin.Engine.Execution.ActionRunner.Run(IActionStatement statement, Dictionary`2 inputArguments, Dictionary`2 outputArguments)

    Make sure you are using the right dll and also the 32 vs 64 bit
