Environment

Reflection Mobile Business to Business (B2B) Suite product is built for enterprise organizations that require mobile IBM and VT mainframe access from devices such as iPads and iPhones.  Reflection Mobile supports 3270, 5250 (includes support for SSL/TLS), and VT (includes SSH) in a single product and includes enterprise capabilities such as Mobile Device Management (MDM) integration, tools for customizing the end-user experience, barcode reader support via the camera or Bluetooth connected scanner, simple automation via macros and software updates and support.

Resolution

To purchase Reflection Mobile from Apple’s B2B App Store contact Micro Focus sales. https://www.microfocus.com/en-us/contact/contactme#mounted

Alternatively to purchase a large number of licenses setup an Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) account.  Formerly the VPP account number was a unique number but now it is simply an email address. Go to https://business.apple.com to create an Apple Volume Purchase Program account for your organization. Be sure to use this new site to manage custom apps instead of vpp.apple.com, which is not used anymore.
