Currently Gen's certified third party 3270 emulators for Gen r8.5 and r8.6 include:
Attachmate EXTRA! 9.2 SP1
IBM Personal Communications for Windows V6
Rumba Office Mainframe Display Version 8.3
Micro Focus owns Attachmate Extra! 9.2 SP1 and this product is going End-of-Support soon. Micro Focus is directing its customers to use its InfoConnect V16 Reflections product. Customer would like Gen to certify Micro Focus's InfoConnect V16 Reflections product as a 3270 emulator option for seamless uploads and downloads of models to/from the Gen Host Encyclopedia.
In this case, the customer's only emulator choice available agency wide for GEN is the agency standard emulator of InfoConnect V16 Reflections product.
A better approach to this issue is to use ftp instead of HLLAPI as suggested in https://communities.ca.com/ideas/235714030 and with the intent of making the process emulator agnostic.
