To Configure and Start the Listener for the ESDEMO Region

The default listener configuration file installed with the product includes a TN3270 port configuration for the ESDEMO region specifying port 9023. This is the port that a 3270 client such as Rumba would use to connect to the region. You only need configure the database server details to use this listener with the ESDEMO region.
Note: Stopping and re-starting the seelistener service starts the listener with the latest configurations.

Use the following procedure to configure and start the listener for the ESDEMO region:

  1. In the Tree pane, click Configuration Editors > Listener . See 1 in the diagram below. The Listener Configuration Editor view is displayed in the Results pane.
  2. Click the File Open icon. See 2 in the diagram below.

  5. Enter your database server instance name in the value field associated with the Database server instance property. See 5 in the diagram below. GUID-23B00217-C37E-4151-9021-4C283C3070C7-low.png
  6. Expand the ESDEMO region node and verify that there are three child nodes: HTTP, MFBINP and TN3270. Select the TN3270 node and verify that the Port property value is 9023. See 6 in the diagram below. This is the port that you will need to configure for your TN3270 emulator to allow it to connect to the region.
  7. Click either File > Save, or the Save icon on the toolbar to save the file. See 7 in the diagram below.
  8. Click either Options > Start Listener, or the Start Listener icon on the toolbar to start the listener. See 8 in the diagram below.
    Note: If the listener is already started, you must stop it and then re-start it for your configuration changes to take effect.
