You need to start the HACloud session server before you can use the HACloud TN3270 emulator. To do this you need to start the respective Windows service (Windows) or the startsessionserver.sh script (UNIX).

  1. Ensure you have a 64-bit Java installed and added to the PATH environment variable.
  2. Open the Windows Services Manager.
  3. Click Micro Focus HA Cloud, and click Start the service.
  4. Alternatively, you can execute the following command from a command prompt to start the service:

To start the HACloud session server (UNIX):

  1. Ensure that the installed Java is added to the PATH environment variable.
  2. Start the Enterprise Server region that runs the application you want to connect to.
  3. Open a terminal and set up the COBOL environment in it.
  4. Run the following to start the session server:
    startsessionserver.sh

    Check the terminal for the messages that the Micro Focus HACloud Session Server has started.

  5. In addition, you can execute the following script in $COBDIR/bin which will register a system service named MFHACloud which will start the session server. Run this as root from a terminal that has the COBOL environment specified. You also need to specify an administrator user account to run the Enterprise Server:

    Where ESadminID is the administrator ID you have configured for Enterprise Server.
