Service updates for the CICS Explorer are available on
a pre-configured download site on the internet. Your organization
might require you to connect to the internet through a proxy server.
You can use the Preferences dialog to define a proxy server.
Before you begin
Before proceeding, ensure that you have all the details including
the address and port number for your proxy server.
Procedure
- Click Window > Preferences, expand
the Eclipse platform section and click Network Connections.
The Network Connections pane is displayed in the Preferences view.
The example below shows a screen capture of the Network Connections
pane containing sample proxy server connection details.
- Select the Manual proxy configuration radio
button and type the address of the proxy in either the HTTP
proxy, SSL proxy, or the SOCKS
proxy field depending on the type of the proxy server.
- Type the port number in the associated Port field.
- If the proxy server requires authentication, select the Enable
proxy authentication check box and enter your user name
and password.
- Click Apply to save the configuration.
- Click OK to close the dialog.
What to do next
When the CICS Explorer next connects to the internet the
connection will go through the proxy server. For more information
