Creating a Multi Terminal Access Profile (z/Scope Classic)
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. You can browse web pages without leaving the z/Scope environment, thanks to its integrated web browser.
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
Select + New Profile in the dashboard or home page. Alternatively, select + Add from the Access Profiles tab of the Web Manager.
The ability to see the New Profile button on the home page or the Access Profiles tab within the Web Manager depends on the specific rights assigned to a user by the admin. Additionally, the global UI settings for the current Thinfinity Workspace installation may also influence access.
For details, see Permissions Tab and UI Settings.
Select an Access Profile Type
Select Terminal and select Next.
Choose a Terminal Connection Type
In the next step of the wizard choose the type of terminal that you want to publish then select Next.
Set Up the Connection
Enter the built-in pool name for z/Scope Classic terminal emulator and the access code presented in the zScope Classic tab of the Configuration Manager, then select Next to proceed.

When Allow Anonymous Access is enabled in the installation, it is pre-selected in the Permissions step of the wizard. Simply click Next to continue.
To limit access to specific users or groups, uncheck Allow Anonymous Access and click Add to choose who can access the new Access Profile.
For details on how to enable/disable anonymous access and configure access permissions, see Global Access Profiles Parameters, Access Control Settings and Labels.

Configure the Access Profile
The wizard guides you through the essential settings required for the connection to the target resource. 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. Depending on how the home page is configured and the rights granted to each user, the Edit option which grants access to the Settings menu might be available:
- in the home page, from the three vertical dots button of the Access Profile tile as shown below.
or
- in the Access Profiles tab in the Web Manager, as shown below.
For details on how to customize the user interface, see UI Settings.
For details on the parameters available in the Access Profile Settings menu, see Multi Terminal Settings.
Apply the Changes
Select Apply to implement the configured connection parameters.
- If you are defining only one profile, you can use Apply right after configuring all the desired parameters.
- If you are defining several profiles or complex profile configurations, use Apply after you have everything in place.
