Launching the Emulator When Running Applications

There are different ways to start the TN3270 emulator specified in the IDE options:

  • From Solution Explorer - right-click the project in Solution Explorer, and click Enterprise Server > Mainframe TN3270 Display.
  • From Server Explorer - right-click the enterprise server region associated with your project, and click Mainframe TN3270 Display.
  • Start running the application - click Debug > Start Without Debugging. This launches the TN3270 emulator for the StartUp project in your solution.
Note: If you use Rumba+ Desktop, you receive a notification that it creates a read-only temporary profile that does not save any changes when you open or close the emulator.
