How can I configure TSIM's jserver process to use an http proxy, so that I can configure the BSR configuration, when a proxy is required to reach the midtier server?

In the BMC_PROACTIVENET_HOME/custom/conf/pnjserver.conf, add the following lines: (if you do not already have a pnjserver.conf in the custom/conf directory, create it appropriately, per the documentation)

COMDefine https.proxyHost=proxy-hostname-here
COMDefine https.proxyPort=proxy-port-here
COMDefine http.proxyHost=proxy-hostname-here
COMDefine http.proxyPort=proxy-port-here

Also please update below entry in %BMC_PROACTIVENET_HOME%\pw\custom\conf\pnjserver.conf

COMDefine http.nonProxyHosts=proxy-hostname-here
COMDefine https.nonProxyHosts=proxy-hostname-here

Change the proxy-hostname-here and proxy-port-here values according to your proxy server's settings.  Note, we are setting both http and https proxy settings here, to be sure to cover both possible paths.

After this change, restart the TSIM/BPPM server.

Note - for the equivalent settings for the SDIG/EventIntegrator process, see KA 000304922
