Before you can run our application via the enterprise server you have created and started, you need to initialize its VSAM files.
- Connect to your enterprise server using your TN3270 emulator. Your host name is
localhost, and the port number is
9004.
Note: Some versions of Windows might return an error message when you specify
localhost as the host name. In this case, try using your machine name or the
127.0.0.1 IP address instead.
- Clear the screen to get rid of the CESN login screen. You do not need to log in.
Note: If you are using Rumba, press
F3 to skip the signon screen.
- To initialize the VSAM files for our application, enter
CFCR ACCTFIL. You should receive a message indicating that the file was successfully created.
Note: If the ACCTFIL VSAM was previously initialized, a message appears explaining that the ACCTFILE already exists. This might be the case, especially if you have previously run this tutorial.
