Use the Rumba TN3270 emulator to run the MFDEMO application on the IMSDEMO
enterprise server region.
With the IMSDEMO
enterprise server region started in
Enterprise Server (see the
Start IMSDEMO section in the previous topic), you can now run the MFDEMO application from the Rumba TN3270 mainframe display, and add data to the IMS database.
The installation of
Enterprise Developer includes the
Micro Focus Rumba emulator. The Rumba TN3270 Mainframe Display is embedded within
Enterprise Developer. As part of this tutorial, you use the embedded Rumba display to run the application.

Here, you check your
Enterprise Developer options and ensure that the embedded Rumba display is selected:
- In the IDE, click
Tools > Options.
