During the installation process, Mainframe Predictor detects the existence of the Microsoft Windows Firewall (MSFW) automatically. When the installation process detects the existence of the MSFW, you will see a dialog box that asks if you want the installation process to configure the firewall automatically.

Setup detected Microsoft Windows Firewall

If you respond YES, the installation process adds all necessary entries to the firewall.
If you respond NO, see Settings for BMC Performance Predictor for Mainframes, that follows for a description of the firewall settings, which you must enter
 manually.
