Run the ACCT Application

Having created, configured, and started an enterprise server region for the ACCT application, you can now use the Rumba+ Desktop TN3270 mainframe emulator to run it.

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

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

Open the Rumba Mainframe Display View

Start the Rumba+ Desktop Mainframe Display view as follows:

1. In the Server Explorer, right-click ESACCT; then select from the context menu.
