Run the ACCT Application

Takes you through the steps necessary to start the ESACCT enterprise server region, access the region using the Rumba+ Desktop, initialize a VSAM file, and interact with the ACCT application.

Start the ESACCT enterprise server region

  1. In Eclipse on the Server Explorer view, expand Local [localhost:86].
  2. Right-click the ESACCT server, and select Start from the context menu.
    Note: You might be prompted with an Enterprise Server Sign On dialog box, prompting you to provide connection details for the ESACCT server. This is a standard security dialog box. Click OK without specifying any sign-on details. Also, if prompted to disable password recovery, click No.

    In the Server Explorer, you can see that the icon for ACCT has changed to indicate that the region has started.

Start the Rumba+ TN3270 Display

  • In the Server Explorer view, right-click ESACCT; then select Show TN3270 Display.
