Hello devs,
I will be using AS400 for the first time. But before getting into the project, I want to understand how I can connect to the iseries.
I referred to few of the articles there I leant about the itoolkit which we can use to establish a connection and executing the programs.
So, could you please tell me whether itoolkit would for automation purpose or is there any alternate/easy way to communicate with iseries from local host.

Your help will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Tom,

I want to have terminal emulation. I will explain you my requirements:-
Basically I have to compare the data from the excel sheet with the data stored in the DB through screen scraping and my automation tool will be taking the screenshots of the activity which it will be performing. So, in short I want to perform the GUI automation & need to store those screenshots in some folder and send it in a mail to the outlook. My priority is to use python for it, but I don't have any idea how to do it.

It would be really great if you could tell me how to do it.

Thanks

When you say connecting

Do you mean for terminal emulation (5250), or server to server comm?
