Added support in the Direct Connection provider for the Terminal Session activity, allowing the use of specific control keys for the Tandem terminal. These control keys include: Next Page, Prev Page, Left, Right, Program Reset, Soft Reset.
The Connection Configuration button in the Terminal Session activity is now disabled when the Existing Connection property is set.
- Timeout exceptions in Wait-type activities, namely Wait Screen Text, Wait Field Text, Wait Text at Position, caused the terminal connection to be marked as disconnected, which in turn, resulted in the malfunctioning of subsequent Terminal activities.
- The screen resolution was improperly detected in the Rocket BlueZone provider.
Release date: July 8, 2024
Starting with this package version, the .NET Desktop Runtime in both x64 and x32 versions is no longer a software requirement.
Int32
: Row and Column.
Added proxy server support for the Direct Connection provider.
Added a login dialog in the Recorder for terminal connections using the Direct Connection provider and the SSH communication protocol. Previously, the recorder was disabled for such connections.
Added support for the Select control key, used in VT terminals.
Release date: November 28, 2023
Added a configuration option for the Answerback feature in the VT family of terminals, in the Direct Connection provider.
Added support for FieldPlus, FieldMinus and FieldExit control keys, used with IBM 5250 terminals (AS400).
Release date: August 23, 2023
Added two new activities to the Terminal Activities package: Find Text and Move Cursor to Text.
The Terminal Activities package now supports the Windows project compatibility (.NET 6.0) for native providers for various terminal emulators (previously available only in Windows - Legacy projects).
Added support for the Cursor Select control key, used with the IBM 3270 family emulators.
Release date: April 28, 2023
The Terminal Activities package is now compatible with .NET Runtime 6.
- Fixed a bug that caused Terminal Session connection exceptions in Windows - Legacy projects using EHLLAPI or other native providers (such as IBM Personal Communications or Attachmate).
- Fixed a condition that caused the robot process to hang as a result of the
UiPath.Terminal.Host.exe
process crashing.
Release date: January 26, 2023
Added support for different screen resolutions, for VT terminals and Wyse Terminals, in the Direct Connection provider.
For Wait type activities (Wait Screen Text, Wait Text at Position, etc.), the text the activity is set to wait for is now added to the timeout exception message for an easier way of tracking the errors.
Added support for running the EHLLAPI and native providers (PCOMM, BlueZone, etc.) independent of the target architecture (32/64bit) of the 3rd party emulator:
- For Windows-Legacy projects, the use of 64-bit 3rd party emulators is now allowed.
- For Windows projects, the use of 32-bit 3rd party emulators is now allowed.
Release date: July 13, 2022
Added the MS-DOS Hebrew encoding (CP 862) as option in the EHLLAPI provider configuration screen.
System.Drawing.Color
object.
Added VT specific control characters (CTRL+A to CTRL+Z) as options for the Send Control Key activity.
Added the Shift+Tab control key, available only with the Direct Connection provider and terminal type Wyse series.
- Using Direct Connection on TN5250 caused the emulator to crash with an AccessViolationException.
- Fixed a bug in the EHLLAPI provider that prevented the proper closing and deallocation of the TerminalConnection.
- Fixed the behavior of the Wait Text at Position activity, to take into account only the text on the screen, not the fields on the screen.
- Fixed a bug in the Direct Connection provider that caused it to write log files containing configuration errors.
- Fixed a bug occurring on UiPath.Terminal.Activites package v2.4.0 that prevented the proper execution of the terminal activities using EHLL provider with Studio/Robot versions older than 2021.10.
- Fixed a bug in the EHLLAPI provider that prevented the proper detection of fields starting in row 1, column 1.
- Fixed a bug occurring when a previously closed
TerminalConnection
object tried to reopen the connection. Now, it throws an exception when a workflow tries to use it.
Release date: November 15, 2021
The UiPath.Terminal.Activities package is now compatible with .NET 5. Projects created with project compatibility Windows (.NET 5 with Windows support) and using 3rd party terminal emulators (EHLL, IBM Personal Communications, etc) require a 64-bit architecture.
Support was added for Next Screen, Previous Screen, and Hold Screen control keys for the VT family of terminals.
Support was added for Wyse terminals in the Configure Connection window for the following modes of operation: Wyse 50+, Wyse 60, and Wyse 350.
New configuration options have been added to the Configure Connection window, VT terminals being available with the following options: VT100, VT101, VT 102, VT220, VT240, VT320, VT340, and VT420.
- Fixed a bug occurring on the recording function. Now, before recording any activities, the Start Recorder button checks if there is a sequence inside the Terminal Session Scope.

- Fixed a bug occurring when the Wizard button was accessed without a connection string. Now, the Wizard button is disabled if the connection string is null, it includes a variable, or the SSH is used.
Release date: July 27, 2021

Release date: March 19, 2021
You can now use CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT keys in combination with F-keys when automating with the Terminals package.
To prevent issues when certain fonts are missing from the terminal machines you are automating, the default fallback font has been changed to Consolas.
We have added support for SCO ANSI and Tandem T653x terminals in the Terminal Session activity.
- If the keyboard was locked after sending keys to the terminal machine, the next activities in the workflow failed due to timeout. To avert this, the behavior has been changed and now the activity that causes the keyboard to become locked throws an issue.
- Fixed an issue with Direct Connection where text sent to the terminal was not visible on screen.
- When using 5250 terminal types, and the screen had AutoEnter fields, checking for keyboard lock after sending keys failed.
Release date: December 17, 2020
The Terminal Session recorder can now be reopened at any point after dragging the activity to the Workflow Designer by using the Start Recorder button in the body of the activity.
Starting with this update, the Terminal Activities pack now supports automating in ANSI terminal emulation.

- Page Up and Page Down controls were incorrectly mapped for the 5250 emulator.
Release date: September 28, 2020
In order to offer a more reliable and versatile solution for creating automation processes with Terminals, the Terminal Activities Pack now harnesses TurboSoft'sTTwin OCX interface, which significantly improves the way Windows-based applications access legacy software systems.
- Implementations using the Internal Provider are no longer supported. In the case of such workflows, the provider in the Terminal Session activity has to be changed to Direct Connection for the activities to function properly. Running any old workflows with this new package results in unforeseeable consequences and is not recommended.
Release date: June 26, 2019
Release date: January 10, 2019
This new year brings two more languages in the entire UiPath Platform - French and Russian. Since we layed down the foundations of localization in our previous release, we are continuing our efforts in bringing you a more immersive experience and lowering the language barrier bit by bit.
