About the Aviva Wizards

The following Aviva® wizards are available:

Aviva 3270 wizard: Enables you to generate a script simulating a user's experience on the mainframe. The actions and commands you record are called Tests. You can manually enter the commands in the URL field, or use the Aviva 3270 wizard to generate and record the commands for you automatically. Before using the Aviva 3270 wizard, you must first set up Aviva for Desktops with the appropriate sessions on your computer.  

Aviva 5250 wizard: Enables you to generate a script simulating a user's experience on the AS/400. The actions and commands you record are called Tests. You can manually enter the commands in the URL field, or use the Aviva 5250 Wizard to generate and record the commands for you automatically. Before using the Aviva 5250 wizard, you must first set up Aviva for Desktops with the appropriate sessions on your computer.

Aviva Telnet wizard: Enables you to generate a script simulating a user's experience on the platform supporting the Telnet protocol (UNIX, Linux®, and so on). The actions and commands you record are called Tests. Use the Aviva Telnet Wizard to generate and record the commands for you automatically. Before using the Aviva Telnet wizard, you must first set up Aviva for Desktops with the appropriate sessions on your computer.

We recommend that you have experience in both Visual Basic® Script and Active Server Pages (ASPXs) if you are using this wizard. The scripts generated by Reveille are meant to be used as a template and may need editing in order to be complete. For example, if you want to view the current jobs running on TSO, you can generate a script calling up the output list. However, to read all of the pages of an output list, you can edit the script and add a loop around the code that would read all of the pages of the output list.

Reveille supports the following API calls for Aviva:

  • Application.LastErrorMessage
  • PS.Attrib
  • PS.GetCursorLocation
  • PS.GetData
  • PS.MaxRowColumn
  • PS.SendString
  • PS.SetData
  • PS.WaitCursorMove
  • PS.WaitForString
  • PS.WaitHostSettle
  • Session.ConnectionState
  • Session:LastError
  • Session:SessionInfoType (Session.SessionInfo.Type)

Before using the Aviva wizards, you must configure an Aviva session connecting to the resource (mainframe) you want to monitor. See the Aviva documentation for more information.

Note:  When recording with the wizards, be careful not to record dates and times in your scripts. They cause errors to occur every time the script runs. You can edit the code referencing the dates and times from the scripts, if necessary.
