    Hi Arindam, Mainframe automation can certainly be done using the IBM RPA SAAS solution.  There are different approaches, the use of a API is preferable.  If this unavailable you can automate a Windows terminal emulator application that runs on the bot ( i.e 3270/ VT200 etc ).  The emulator is typically configured to connect to the mainframe on startup.
