Has anyone had experience upgrading from IBM i Access AS400 to IBM Access Client 5250 emulator?  Our core vendor is forcing us to upgrade and we cannot seem to target the new emulator after the upgrade.  Running detect emulator does not work either.  Our core vendor is Jack Henry, and I'm sure this is just a setting that needs flipped.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your time,

Kyle Barton

Thanks to Thomas Bolton in support, there is a specific walk through just for these types of emulators.  If you do not copy over the files as stated,  RPA will fail to connect.  

 

Please review the *See this guide (PDF) (https://download.nintex.com/foxtrot/GettingStarted/IBM%20iAccess%20(Java)%20Setup%20Guide%20for%20Foxtrot%20RPA.pdf) for a walk through of setting up the Java emulator.  The bridge files should be copied from C:Program Files (x86)IBMEHLLAPI to C:UsersPublicIBMClientSolutionsStart_ProgramsWindows_i386-32
