Automation Objects
The Host Access Class Library Automation Objects allow Z and I Emulator for Windows to
support the Microsoft® COM-based automation
technology (formerly known as OLE automation). The HACL Automation
Objects are a series of automation servers that allow automation controllers,
for example, Microsoft® Visual Basic®, to programmatically access Z and I Emulator for Windows’ data and functionality. In other words, applications that are
enabled for controlling the automation protocol (automation controller)
can control some of Z and I Emulator for Windows' operations (automation server).
Note: The Automation Objects provided by HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows are
32-bit in nature. These can be used only with 32-bit Microsoft Office
programs.
See Host Access Class Library Automation Objects for details on the Automation Objects layer.
