This guide is for those who use UiPath automations within an IBM z/OS environment. It was written specifically to help RPA programmers, enterprise IT architects, and system administrators create more resilient and performant bot-to-mainframe interactions.

This guide contrasts the default Terminal Sessions method for mainframe bot integration with using RESTful services. It shares methods, programming techniques, and the benefits of using RESTful services to optimize UiPath automations that access IBM System Z applications. Readers will gain practical instruction and get code examples for trying these methods in their environments.
