Terminal Emulator Add-in—Installation and Configuration Issue

  - If the QuickTest Professional Terminal Emulator Add-in is installed and loaded, but there is no terminal emulator installed on your computer, the following error message is displayed: QuickTest Terminal Emulator support is not configured correctly. Either the terminal emulator is not installed on your computer or the HLLAPI DLL was not found.

Workaround: When you open QuickTest, clear the Terminal Emulators check box in the Add-in Manager. 

You can prevent this message from appearing by adjusting your emulator's configuration settings.

When working with an emulator that does not support HLLAPI, or with an emulator that has been configured as supporting text-only HLLAPI operations, do not change the size of the terminal emulator window after configuring the emulator settings.

When installing a Hummingbird HostExplorer terminal emulator or patches, make sure that QuickTest Professional is closed.

To enable support for a NetManage Web-To-Host Java Client session that is configured to open in a separate window, specify the title of your session window using the Tools > Options > Terminal Emulator > Adjust Configuration > Object identification settings > Identify emulator window based on title bar prefix option.

The QuickTest Professional Terminal Emulator Add-in can identify emulator window objects only when the emulator is connected. For example, you cannot use the following statement to connect to an emulator session:

TeWindow("TeWindow").WinMenu("Menu").Select "Communication;Connect"

1 QTP and Terminal Emulator tutorial

1. Terminal Emulator is an Add-in used to recognize Mainframe Screens/Dos Prompts....what ever is command prompt to be generic...
2. You need to get the add-in installed for your version of QTP, its available from HP,
3. Screen & Field's are the two controls that are recognized by this Add-in
4. Key Press events are functions that operates in case of navigation.
5. Install it & enjoy.

To ensure that QuickTest and your terminal emulator integrate successfully while recording a test or component, open and connect your terminal emulator session before recording begins. While running tests or components, you can add a SystemUtil.Run statement to the beginning of your test or component to automatically launch your emulator session from QuickTest. For more information, refer to the Utility section of the HP QuickTest Professional Object Model Reference.

If your terminal emulator has an option to automatically resize the terminal emulator window according to the font size, then it should be enabled. For example, in the EXTRA! 6.7 emulator, choose Settings > Font > Autosize window to font size.

You can run tests or components using the QuickTest Professional Terminal Emulator Add-in from other HP products, for example, Quality Center. Before you run these tests or components, make sure you select the required emulator on the computer on which the test or component is to run, using the QuickTest Tools > Options >Terminal Emulator tab.
