Run the ACCTCLNT Application

Verify Rumba Options

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

In Eclipse, click Window > Preferences.
Expand Micro Focus > Enterprise Server, and click TN3270.
Ensure that Enable display, Rumba (Embedded) and Connect automatically are all selected.
Click Apply and Close.

Open the Rumba Mainframe Display View

With the enterprise server region started, you can now run the ACCT transaction and interact with it via the Rumba TN3270 display. To start Rumba:

On the Server Explorer view, right-click the ACCTWEB enterprise server region; then select Show TN3270 Display from the context menu.
This starts the Rumba Mainframe Display view and connects it to the ACCTWEB application running on the ACCTWEB enterprise server region.

Initialize the ACCTFIL VSAM File

Before you can run the ACCT transaction, you need to initialize its VSAM file.

In the Rumba Mainframe Display view, press Ctrl+Shift+Z to clear the CESN login screen.
Enter CFCR ACCTFIL.
If this is the first time you have run a CICS tutorial, you should see a message indicating that the ACCTFIL VSAM file was created successfully. Otherwise, the message explains that the ACCTFIL file already exists.

Start the ACCT transaction

Now you are ready to access the application.

In the Rumba Mainframe Display view, press Ctrl+Shift+Z to clear the VSAM message.
Enter ACCT.
This invokes the initial screen for the ACCT transaction.
