PROBLEM/ABSTRACT:

Your AccuRev infrastructure, server and clients are behind a firewall and a proxy is needed to get to the internet.

1. Therefore the AccuRev clients don't see the live "Welcome" tab
2. During AccuRev server install, you can't download the client installers

SOLUTION:

Use the environment variable "_JAVA_OPTIONS". (Yes the leading underscore is needed)

For the following shells:

BASH

export  _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dhttp.proxyHost=www.yourCompanyProxy.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8123'

CSH and variants

setenv  _JAVA_OPTIONS '-Dhttp.proxyHost=www.yourCompanyProxy.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8123'

Windows

set  _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=www.yourCompanyProxy.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8123"

Be sure to substitute the correct names for the proxy and port, changing both yourCompanyProxy and 8123 as appropriate for your location / site.
