Set Up and Run the ACCT Application

Configuring the TN3270 Properties

Ensure that the IDE is configured to use the embedded Rumba emulator to run mainframe applications:

1. In the IDE, click Tools > Options.
2. Expand Micro Focus, and click TN3270 Display.
3. Ensure that Enable Display is checked and that the Rumba (Embedded) display option is selected.
4. Ensure that Connect automatically is checked.
5. Click OK.

Open the Embedded Rumba Display

Now that you have configured an enterprise server and have associated the server with your CICS project, you can start the embedded Rumba Display as follows:

1. Ensure that the ACCT server is running and that it is associated with your project.
2. Right-click the ACCT project in Solution Explorer, and click Show TN3270 Display.

   This opens the embedded Rumba Display inside the IDE and connects it to the ACCT application running in the ACCT enterprise server.

Then, to connect Rumba Desktop to the ACCT server:

1. Use a host name of 127.0.0.1 and the TN3270 port number you wrote down earlier to connect Rumba Desktop to the ACCT enterprise server.
2. Clear the CESN login screen as security is not enabled - in Micro Focus Rumba you need to press CTRL+SHIFT+Z.

Initialize the VSAM file of the application

The first time you connect to the ACCT server you also need to initialize the application VSAM file as follows:

1. Type CFCR ACCTFIL and press Enter to initialize the VSAM files for the application.

   You should receive a message indicating that the file was successfully created.

If the ACCTFIL VSAM was previously initialized, a message appears explaining that the ACCTFIL already exists. This might be the case, especially if you have previously run this tutorial.

Clear the screen of the emulator and run the application as described earlier in this tutorial.

Start the CICS Transaction

1. Clear the CESN login screen as security is not enabled - in Micro Focus Rumba you need to press CTRL+SHIFT+Z.
2. Enter ACCT. This shows the initial screen of our application.
