Test Custom Controls Through a Proxy Server

Note: This information is only applicable to August 2016 and earlier interviews.

The Debugger can be used to test that Custom Controls hosted outside the organization work correctly, when the machine running Policy Modeling requires the use of a proxy server to access external sites. This can be done using a command-line argument. To enable this, follow the steps in Use a command line argument when running Oracle Policy Modeling and for the argument use --debug-jvm-args with the proxyHost and proxyPort to use. For example, --debug-jvm-args="-Dhttp.proxyHost=<proxyHost> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<proxyPort>".

Policy Modeling Properties dialog box showing Shortcut tab with debug setting added in Target field

The next time you open Policy Modeling from the Start menu, you can use the Debugger to test the custom controls through a proxy server.
