MarketView uses Java

The MarketView client desktop application uses the Java platform to run on your computer. In order for it to run properly and reliably, your computer will need to first have the Java^TM Runtime Environment (JRE). With Java, there are two options to run the MarketView application.

• Option 1 - Use the Java Runtime Plug-in and run as web browser applet
• Option 2 - Use the Java Web Start program and run as a desktop application

If you use another web browser, we recommend that you use the Java Web Start option.

Internet Connection

For MarketView users that are connecting to the Internet through their corporate network (LAN or WAN), there will likely be coordination required with their in-house technology staff. Some corporate networks may have Firewall systems in place that protect the corporate network and control the conversations that applications can have across the Internet. If the machine that will run the MarketView application is behind a Firewall or Proxy, then a configuration change to allow the client application to initiate a connection will probably be necessary.

Technical Details
When the MarketView application initiates a connection to the Internet server, it initializes a Winsock TCP connection to the server by issuing an "active open" to a defined port on the server. For the client to be successful in establishing and maintaining this connection to the server, the following points are required:

1. The desired service on the server must have issued a Winsock TCP "passive open" on its assigned port. The servers are maintained by GlobalView ensuring that this "passive open" state always exists.

2. The client must be able to connect to the requested service Winsock port (on the server) via the TCP transport protocol. If the client is logically located behind a firewall, then the firewall must be configured to allow a duplex (bi-directional) conversation between the MarketView client and server to be established.

3. The Internet connection oriented must maintain a continuous connection and a high-level of service quality throughout the application session.

4. The client must first establish a connection to a Permission server. This requires the client to have a valid and current UserID, Domain, and Password for MarketView service.
