UiPath RPA Mainframe Automation with Hostbridge

This live session will be all about mainframe automation with UiPath RPA. A UiPath mainframe integration demo will be shown by the very skilled people from Hostbridge Technology.

Hostbridge will show an approach to improve reliability and achieve performance improvements compared to current methods.

When we do mainframe automation like we use to do with UiPath (working in the UI), it causes problems. It's very fragile, slow and it's hard to scale. The solution is to use a federated, RPA platform that runs on the mainframe.

0:00 What can go wrong in Mainframe RPA automation?
Russ Teubner (CEO & Co-Founder) from Hostbridge explains, how to avoid UI interaction (terminal emulation and screen scraping) because it's easy breakable and costly in system time. Instead, we can use API integration. Jerry Rackley, Director of Marketing, and James Alexander, Director of Technical Services are also in the session.

3:29 HostBridge Technology
A short introduction about the product and the demo. You can use the REST API from Hostbridge with UiPath, but also Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and any other RPA tool.

6:02 Mainframe UI automation with UiPath
Russ demonstrates, how to automate the Mainframe with UiPath. Our UiPath robot works in the UI (emulation and screen scraping).

12:33 Mainframe API automation with UiPath
A more simple and efficient approach is to do an HTTP Request in UiPath direct to the Mainframe. We get the result in a JSON, which we can deserialize very easily.
