Blue Prism attach Mainframe

[Youssef]

Hi all!,
Im applying Mainframe automation in Blue Prism for a process using Micro focus Reflection for Destkop 16 (.NET API). I don't however find the attach action when i use the Navigate stage and place the root of the application in the element column. In the application modeller i use the following path to session file: S:\Documents\Attachmate\Reflection\Refl2014\hiddenName.rd3x
Does anyone have an idea on how to attach to the mainframe window?
Thx for the help!

Do you create the Attach action in your Object? If you have the attach page and the launch page with good logic, it should work. Personally, I was attaching mainframe application using the saved session path (.ws) and it works very fine

Yes i have created the attach page in the second object:

1) object containing basic actions of the application (launch, terminate, etc)
2) object that contains actions on specific screen (therefore i need to attach as per screen window)

I cannot attach at all because it does not appear on my navigate stage;

If you already have the attach page built correctly, you just need to call that page at the beginning of your actions. That's the common usage of the attach action.

Hi Youssef,
In Mainframe automation you will not get the attach, Instead try using the launch with the same session ID.
Please look at this for more understanding

Where do you find the session id,Is it the session identifier we specify in Application Modeller

Can anyone help with bringing the focus to Mainframe application? I cannot find a Focus or an Activate application for my IBM mainframe application

You will get the option Verify in dropdown menu of navigate stage which you can use to focus
