Launching the TN3270 Mainframe Display to Debug Applications

When you start debugging, the IDE automatically launches the TN3270 Mainframe Display specified in the IDE preferences and connects it to the enterprise server region on which your application is running.

If the TN3270 Mainframe display of choice is closed, you can open it in one of the following ways:

  1. In the Debug perspective, right-click the application thread in the Debug view.
  2. Click Relaunch.

Alternatively, you can show the Rumba Mainframe Display view (regardless of default display choice) as follows:

  1. Click Window > Show View > Other.
  2. Select Rumba Mainframe Display under Micro Focus, and click OK
  3. If your connections are not configured to connect automatically (Connect automatically option on the TN3270 preferences page), click Connect to server (Connect) on the view toolbar and enter the connection details.

    The view connects to the enterprise server region on which the application you are debugging runs.
