Releases: open-rpa/openrpa
Add Mainframe automation support
What's Changed
Doing install, you need to enabled mainframe automation, by selecting "weill be installed on local hard drive"
Then in a new workflow, drag in a "Terminal Session" activity.
All actions have to happen inside this activity. By default, you can see the actions in a window while they are running, you can disable this by setting "Hide UI" to True.
Now, click "Open Recorder" and fill in hostname, port and select a terminal type
For older mainframes, select "IBM-3179-2" ( to use tn3270 )
For newer mainframes like AS/400 you can select "IBM-3278-2" or "IBM-3477-FC" as term type in the recorder window, ( to use tn5250 )
you can tab to select an input field, or mouse click on an input field, and then click "set text" to set a value for that field ( green )
You can read both input and string fields by clicking on them, and clicking "get text" ( red og green fields )
If you enable "catch keys" any special keys, enter/backspace etc will get caught and added as an activity. ( only some keys are supported, for special keys like F22 edit the text in "Send Key" activity to match the key you want to send )
If you enable "Hi on move" any field you mouse over will get highlighted and selected. Handy for getting a grasp on what fields is present.
If you want to send text to the terminal regardless of what field is selected, use "send text"
Almost all activities have an "Wait for keyboard" you can set true, to wait for the keyboard to be unlocked.
When swapping between screens you should add a "wait for text" activity, to ensure you are on the screen you expect.

Minor fixes and improvements
Workitems
Robot now supports workitem ( offline robots does not support this yet )
Removed CEF ( chrome browser embedded inside OpenRPA ).
So "Getting started" tab is gone, you can access the page using F1 while no workflow activity is selected ( if a workflow activity is selected pressing F1 will not send you to the help screen for that activity )
Login is no longer handled in the robot. If robot is missing a token, it will open your local browser and ask you to login there.
This also means the MSI installer is more than 90 megabytes smaller.
This also means you cannot run workflows that uses invoke OpenRPA on older robots after saving them with the new robot. ( old workflows will work in both old and new versions )
Read Range will now "auto detect" datatypes for each column, if first row contain data.
if no data exists, it will default back to string as always. So validate workflows using "Read Range"
