Configure an upstream proxy

An upstream proxy is typically used when your BI platform must be restricted from any traffic outside your firewall. When you define an upstream proxy, all calls from the Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects internal proxy are routed through the specified URL to the proxy server, which in turn routes calls to the ArcGIS platform.

You can configure an upstream proxy by modifying the proxy configuration file included with Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects, using a standard text editor.

The proxy configuration file (proxy.config) is located at: em4bobj\dashb\proxy.config.

To specify an upstream proxy, set the useUpstreamProxy element's enabled attribute to true, and specify the URL of the upstream proxy server.

For example:

<useUpstreamProxy enabled="true">
    http://127.0.0.1:8888
</useUpstreamProxy>
