IZE0106E Connection timed out when using OpenText SOCKS Client

Question & Answer

Question

Why does the CICS Explorer fail to connect to the host with error "Connection timed out: connect" when using OpenText SOCKS Client?

The .log shows :

 !ENTRY com.ibm.cics.core.connections 2 2 2019-03-01 10:10:54.781
 !MESSAGE IZE0106E Connect failed with error "Connection timed out: connect" (HOST XXX)
