Set Up and Run the ACCT Application

Initialize VSAM Files

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

1. Use a host name of localhost and port number 5239 to connect your TN3270 emulator to the enterprise server.
2. Clear the CESN login screen as security is not enabled - in Micro Focus RUMBA you need to press CTRL+SHIFT+Z.
3. 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.

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.

Start the CICS Transaction

1. Clear the screen of your TN3270 emulator.
2. Enter ACCT. This shows the initial screen of our application.
