4.5.1 Creating a Multi Terminal Access Profile
The Multi Terminal Access Profile uses the Cybele proprietary z/Scope Classic terminal emulator to provide access to IBM Mainframes, IBM AS/400, and Unix servers.
z/Scope Classic is a terminal emulator that allows users to interact with applications that depend on the interface of the command line. It can be run under Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows ME, Windows NT/2000, and Windows XP platforms, supporting TN3270E, TN5250E, and VT100/220/320/420 terminal emulation protocols.
It's a fully integrated FTP client with full awareness of AS/400 objects and z/OS datasets. It allows one to browse web pages without leaving the z/Scope environment thanks to its integrated web browsing interface.
Remote Printing Services can be included to make host print jobs available to local and network printers by emulating IBM-3287-1 and IBM-3812-1 printers.
To create a Multi Terminal Access Profile:
Start the Access Profile Wizard
In Thinfinity Workspace home page click on New Profile.
Select an Access Profile Type
In the first screen of the Access Profile Wizard select Terminal and click Next.
Choose the Terminal Connection Type
In the next step of the wizard choose the type of terminal that you want to publish then click Next.
Set Up the Connection
Enter the built-in pool name for z/Scope Classic terminal emulator and the access code declared in your zScope Classic (these values are available in the z/Scope Classic tab of the Thinfinity Configuration Manager) then click Next to proceed.
Set the Permissions for the Access Profile
Use the available options to add the users who will have access to the new Access Profile then click Next. This step is optional, you can set the permissions at a later moment.
Set the Access Profile Name
Type a friendly and descriptive name for the new access profile then click Done.
Configure the Access Profile
The wizard helps define the minimal parameters so that the connection to the final resource can function. Thinfinity Workspace assigns default values for the rest of the parameters of the connection. To customize these parameters, access the Settings menu of the Access Profile. For details, see Multi Terminal Access Profile.
Commit the Changes
To implement the defined connection parameters, click Commit.
If you are defining only one profile, you can use Commit right after configuring all the desired parameters.
If you are defining several profiles or complex profile configurations, use Commit after you have everything in place.
