 ==== Configure the client in the HeuristicLab problem ====
 
-Finally visit the Client parameter in our problem, you can see that it has a Channel parameter that is still null. We need to define the channel here. Because our java client listens for connections on a socket will be using an '''!EvaluationTCPChannel'''. Click the Channel, create a new value using the pencil icon and select the TCP channel. Configure the TCP channel according to our java forwarding client.
