Mainframe Automation - How to maximize the Emulator session window once lauched

Arun_KumarPalan — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 10:52:00 GMT

Hi,

I am working on a Mainframe Automation (IBM PCCOM API) use case where I am not able to maximize the Emulator window (because unable to spy the active session in win mode) which is open post launch activity. Can someone provide your thoughts / solutions to achieve this?

Thanks,
Arun

Hi @Arun_KumarPalan,

Please try to spy the outer window of Emulator window using "Win32" mode. Once done, use a Navigate stage and select "Maximize" option to maximize the application. Please let me know if it doesn't work for you.

you have to create separate object, in application modeller you can select the windows and attach to the mainframe application then only it will work

you can't do windows action directly in mainframe application setup

we are also doing this, we have created separate object, attached to mainframe application
