Configuring Certify for Execution

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

To configure Certify for execution:

  1. Open the following directory:

    C:\Program Files(x86)\Worksoft\Certify\Interface Client\Worksoft\Mainframe-LT

  2. Open the EmulatorConfiguration.xml file in a text editor.

  3. In the EmulatorConfiguration.xml file, edit the text by adding one of the supported emulators in which you plan to use:

    <EMULATORS>

    <DEFAULT name="Blue Zone"></DEFAULT>

    <EMULATOR name="Blue Zone">

    <DLLNAME>WHLLAPI32.Dll</DLLNAME>

    <DLLPATH>C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueZone\7.1</DLLPATH>

    <SESSION>A</SESSION>

    </EMULATOR>

    </EMULATOR>

  4. Verify that the session name is always set as A.

  5. Verify that the emulator is configured to always use HLLAPI. If there is an option to enable HLLAPI during start up, select it.

  6. Save your changes to the configuration file.

  7. Once the steps above have been completed, shut down your emulator.
