UCF is not obeying the proxy configuration

Why might UCF not obey the Proxy Configuration Settings "

There is an undocumented setting called ignoreProxy that can be added to ucf.installer.config.xml configuration file located in the applications wdk/contentXfer directory on the application server machine which will cause the UCF runtime to ignore the proxy settings.

The standard ucf.installer.config.xml configuration file would look something like the following example.

<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<dctm fileVersion="5.3.0.1" compatibilityVersion="5.3.0.1">
<ucfInstaller codebase="" loggerLevel="INFO">

With the ignoreProxy setting it look like the following

<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<dctm fileVersion="5.3.0.1" compatibilityVersion="5.3.0.1">
<ucfInstaller codebase="" loggerLevel="INFO" ignoreProxy="true">

With this setting configured you would see something like the following output to the Java Console when the UCF runtime is being launched.

WARNING: Not looking up any proxy information as it's explicitly configured to be ignored

When this message is displayed the Proxy Configuration will be ignored and you may encounter undesirable behaviour.

This setting is not documented in our Product Documentation currently but some customers have added this setting as it is recommend to add the settings for loadrunner testing. ( See the LoadRunner Scripts for Webtop documentation that can be found on the Documentum Developer Website )
