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.

Verify Rumba+ Desktop Options

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

1. In Visual Studio, click Tools > Options.
2. Expand Micro Focus, and click TN3270 Display.
3. Ensure that the Rumba (Embedded) display option is selected.
4. Ensure that Connect automatically is checked.
5. Click OK.

Open the Embedded Rumba Display

Start the embedded Rumba+ Desktop Display as follows:

• On the Server Explorer, right-click the ESACCT enterprise server region; then select Mainframe TN3270 Display from the context menu.

  This starts the embedded Rumba+ Desktop Display and connects it to the ACCT application running on the ESACCT enterprise server region.

Initialize the ACCTFIL VSAM File

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

1. In the embedded Rumba+ Desktop Display, press Ctrl+Shift+Z to clear the CESN login screen.
2. 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.

Display a record

1. Tab to the REQUEST TYPE field.
2. Type D to display a record.
3. In the ACCOUNT field, type 11111.
4. Press Enter. This displays the record retrieved from the database.

Exit the application

• Press Ctrl+Shift+Z twice to exit the application.
