Version 10 screen scraping difficulty

I was able to figure it out.  It had to do with my code out
running the
video in a few places I had overlooked.  I nailed down the
synchronization and now everything runs without a problem
but slow, like
a goat.

Stephen,
I was having like problems.  I added extensive pause and
search-for-string at every line returned.
I was not able to troubleshoot this problem well with
Hummingbird.
They
did not have an environment equitant to
what I work with, scraping CISCO routers over Gigabit links.

I have not returned to this problem for some weeks as I'm
working on
new
problems.
I have had to convert to Secure Term and need to wait until
our
routers
are upgraded to SSH ver 2.0.

I have found that If I run some programs in debug/display
mode that I
have a better chance on the code not outrunning the screens.

Good luck and please let me know if you find a fix.

Subject: Version 10 screen scraping difficulty



I have been using version 6 of Host Explorer for years on
several
computers that run Host Explorer by automation using VB for
screen
scraping. I recently got a brand new computer with version
10 of Host
Explorer loaded on it and now am having a great deal of
difficulty
with
automation and screen scraping.  For example, the screens do
not
change
when they are supposed to after receiving a RunCmd
("Enter") at the
appropriate screen and time.  Even if I include a WaitIdle
(2000)
afterward, I do not get a screen change.  I never had this
problem in
version 6 and I didn't use the WaitIdle command.  Does
anyone have
knowledge about whats going on with version10?

We have some scattered HostEx users who recently have
reported tn3270
inactive timeouts.  We're not sure of all the details at
this point but
it doesn't look like anything host server or application
related.

Is there any kind of new inactive timer in HostEx that could
cause
tn3270 timeouts?

Beginning in V10 we see Connection-Other options referring
to "Sleep".
Anyone know what these do?

Thanks and regards,
Joe

Joe,

Looking at HELP on that dialog, I think HB is talking about
the Windows
"system" going into SLEEP.  HELP says that the
default is to Ask User.

I just changed mine to NO with the understanding that if my
system attempts
to go into sleep while I'm connected, sleep won't happen.

As for your disconnects, I'd look at the system log to see
if the sessions
are being timed out by the host.  For example, a TSO user
would be canceled
via x22 - maybe a 522.  Also in TSO, if a user immediately
logs back on,
he's likely to be able to check the SYSOUT of his last
session
(jobname=userid), and see if the host blew him away.

I'm very interested in being able to reconnect to TSO from
dropped VPN
connections, and we're having no luck doing this.  This can
be very costly
when we have several ISPF screens open.  Our only recourse
is to destroy
the whole TSO session in order to log back on.

Good luck, and let us know what happens.

Michael Bradley
