Hello,

Automation Anywhere Client Terminal command is an emulator to access and control default DOS based actions of remote terminals. You can access remote terminal information using any DOS command. You can use ‘Connect’ Terminal command to connect to terminal emulator then send the command using ‘Send Text’ option and get the results using ‘Get Text’ Option. You can log the results in a text file for later use. Text format of commands would appear as follows,

1) Terminal Emulator: Connect to Terminal "Admin"; Type :"ANSI"; Session :"Session1"
2) Terminal Emulator: Send Text "dir" to Terminal; Session :"Session1"
3) Terminal Emulator: Get Text from Terminal to $Prompt-Assignment$; Session : "Session1"
4) Terminal Emulator: Send Text "ipconfig" to Terminal; Session :"Session1"
5) Terminal Emulator: Get Text from Terminal to $Clipboard$; Session : "Session1"
6) Terminal Emulator: Disconnect from Terminal; Session : "Session1"
7) Log to File: $Clipboard$ $Prompt-Assignment$ in "C:\RemoteMachineDetails.txt"
8) Open "C:\RemoteMachineDetails.txt "

Hope that helps.
