I'm trying to install the SAP HANA Tools (https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/neon) in Eclipse Neon 3 using the path Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software and adding this link.
Please refer attached screenshots.
When I check the 'SAP HANA Tools' from the list and click on 'Next' button in Eclipse, I get nothing...the Eclipse starts saying "Cannot perform operation. Computing alternate solutions.." in the end it fails. This always happens when I'm trying to install tools in Office network.
I believe this is something to do with Proxy in office network. I tried setting the proxy configuration in Eclipse as well like Eclipse -> Windows -> Preferences -> Network Connections -> Action Provider to Manual and HTTP/HTTPS but still getting the same error.
I can easily install SAP HANA Tools in my personal laptop in home network but not in office network. Please assist to suggest me what could be the root cause as I tried really hard to figure it out but nothing worked. `
Also would like to know in my Eclipse Neon 3 (in office laptop), in proxy entries, SOCKS is continued to be checked along with HTTP and HTTPS. Is this the reason behind it? How can I uncheck SOCKS but not HTTP & HTTPS? I tried unchecking SOCKS but nothing worked.
If your computer is behind a proxy and you get this type of error, this is most likely due to the current Eclipse proxy configuration being set to Direct in Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections -> Active Provider.
If your proxy is configured at the system level (in the Windows Setting -> Network & Internet -> Proxy), then you should be able to set the Active Provider to Native.
If this still fails, you can set the Active Provider to Manual and fill the details for each connection type.
When using either Direct or Native, the entries for HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS will be read only. Only the Manual option allows to enter the details for each connection type.
However, as far as I know only HTTP/HTTPS are used by the Eclipse software update feature.
