Initialize VSAM Files

Before you can run our application via the enterprise server you have created and started, you need to initialize its VSAM files.

  1. Connect to your enterprise server using your TN3270 emulator. Your host name is localhost, and the port number is 9004.
  2. Clear the screen to get rid of the CESN login screen. You do not need to log in.
    Note: If you are using Rumba, press F3 to skip the signon screen.
  3. To initialize the VSAM files for our application, enter CFCR ACCTFIL. 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 ACCTFILE already exists. This might be the case, especially if you have previously run this tutorial.
