Run the ACCTWEB Application in TN3270 Mode

The ACCTWEB Web interface supports data search by the Surname field only. You need to interact with the application in TN3270 mode to add data records. Later in this tutorial, you can do a data search from the Web interface to display the records you add here.

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

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

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

  This starts the embedded Rumba+ Desktop Display 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.

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.

Start the ACCT transaction

Now you are ready to access the application.

1. In the embedded Rumba+ Desktop Display, press Ctrl+Shift+Z to clear the VSAM message.
2. Enter ACCT.

   This invokes the initial screen for the ACCT transaction.

Add two records

1. Tab to the REQUEST TYPE field and type A.
2. In the ACCOUNT field, type 11111 .
3. Press Enter.
4. Complete the fields on the NEW RECORD screen. As you do this:
   • Of the three ADDRESS fields, complete only the first two.
   • Skip over fields that are not represented in this table.
   • Keep in mind that data presented here is provided for test purposes only. You can substitute any valid data you choose.
   • If you inadvertently lock the application screen, stop and restart the enterprise server region; then start the ACCT transaction again.
