This capability, sometimes termed, RPA (robotic process automation), enables you to extend your valuable mainframe assets with the vast array of amazing services in Azure to modernize your apps. All via Logic Apps, without writing a line of code.Jump To: [01:42] Demo Start Integrate 3270 screen-driven apps on IBM mainframes with Azure by using Azure Logic Apps and IBM 3270 connectorSchema reference for Workflow Definition Language in Azure Logic AppsAzure Logic Apps (docs)Azure integration servicesCreate a free account (Azure)
