Host

Tosca Cloud automatically detects the type of your HOST emulator based on the specific DLL file(s) located on your system. Make sure that the path to the folder which contains the emulator-specific DLL(s) is included in the Path system variable.

Tosca Cloud supports the emulators listed in this table. These emulators have been specifically tested, but other versions and emulators not listed may also be compatible.

For headless execution, the HOST technology supports IBM mainframe applications using TN3270 and TN5250 communications.
