Using host simulation
The ZIETrans Toolkit includes a host simulation capability. With this capability,
you can record host simulation trace files that can be saved and then
used instead of a live host connection. Following are ways you can
use host simulation files instead of using a live host connection:
- Create screen captures, screen events, and screen transformations using the host terminal function.
- Create and test macros using the host terminal function.
- Test ZIETrans applications using the Eclipse local test environment.
- Deploy ZIETrans applications to a runtime environment to use as demonstrations.
In addition, the host simulation capability can be used in troubleshooting by allowing you to record a host simulation file in the runtime environment that you can use, along with other traces and logs, to document a failing scenario.
Note:
- Host simulation is not supported for SSL enabled connections.
- Host simulation traces of ENPTUI-enabled devices recorded with the stand alone Host Simulator tool might not play back correctly if ENPTUI is not enabled in the ZIETrans project.
