Having created, configured, and started an
enterprise server region for the ACCT application, you can now use the Rumba TN3270 mainframe emulator to run it.
Verify Rumba Options
Ensure that
Visual Studio is configured to use the embedded Rumba emulator to run mainframe applications:
- In Visual Studio, click
Tools > Options.
- Expand
Micro Focus, and click
TN3270 Display.
- Ensure that the
Rumba (Embedded) display option is selected.
- Ensure that
Connect automatically is checked.
- Click
OK.
Open the
Embedded Rumba Display
Start the
embedded Rumba Display as follows:
- Right-click the ACCT project in the
Solution Explorer; then select
Enterprise Server > Mainframe TN3270 Display from the context menu.
This opens the
embedded Rumba Display and connects it to the ACCT application running on the ESACCT
enterprise server region.
Clear the CESN login screen
- Press
CTRL+SHIFT+Z to clear the CESN login screen as security is not enabled.
Initialize the VSAM file of the application
The first time you connect to the ESACCT server you also need to initialize the application VSAM file as follows:
- 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.
Note: 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.

CTRL+SHIFT+Z to clear the screen.
- Enter
