Configuring IBM Personal Communications

You must have IBM Personal Communications® (IBM PCOM) installed prior to performing these steps.

Click Start > All Programs > IBM Personal Communications > Start or Configure Sessions.

The IBM Personal Communications Session Manager dialog opens.
Click New Session.

The Customize Communications dialog opens.
In the Type of Host field, select zSeries.
In the Interface field, select LAN.
In the Attachment field, select Telnet3270.
Click Link Parameters.
In the IP Address for Primary Type field, enter a valid host name or IP address.
Select the Auto Reconnect toggle button.
Click OK.
On the Customize Communications window, click OK.
From the Edit > Preferences menu, select API.
Verify that the DDE/EHLLAPI button is selected.

Configuring Certify for Execution

You must apply edits to the Mainframe LT configuration file to execute processes in Certify.

Open the following directory:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Worksoft\Certify\Interface Client\Worksoft\Mainframe-LT
Open the EmulatorConfiguration.xml file in a text editor.
In the EmulatorConfiguration.xml file, edit the text by adding one of the supported emulators in which you plan to use:

<EMULATORS>

<DEFAULT name="IBM Pcom"></DEFAULT>

<EMULATOR name="IBM Pcom">

<DLLNAME>WhllApi.Dll</DLLNAME>

<DLLPATH>…</DLLPATH>

<SESSION>A</SESSION>

</EMULATOR>

</EMULATOR>
Verify that the session name is always set as A.
Verify that the emulator is configured to always use HLLAPI. If there is an option to enable HLLAPI during start up, select it.
Save your changes to the configuration file.
Once the steps above have been completed, shut down your emulator.
