Starting the applications manager

This topic describes how to launch the Applications Manager.

About this task

To access the Applications Manager:

1. Point your browser to http://<hostname>:<portname>/smcfs/console/start.jsp

   where,

   • hostname is the computer name or IP address of the computer where Sterling Order Management System Software is installed.
   • portnumber is the listening port of the computer where Sterling Order Management System Software is installed.

     The browser displays the Sign In window.

2. Enter your login ID and password and choose the Sign In button. The Console Home Page is displayed.
3. From the menu bar, choose Configuration > Launch Applications Manager. The Applications Manager opens in a new window.
   
   Additionally, enterprise users who maintain an enterprise can access the Applications Manager by means of http://<Sterling Order Management System Software installation server>/smcfs/console/login.jsp.
   
   If you open both Applications Manager and System Management Console at the same time, and if a dialogue window is opened in either of the applications, the other application stops responding until you close the other dialog window. This is a known issue in the Java™ platform.
   Note:

   • As Microsoft Internet Explorer is not supported, it is recommended that you use the stand-alone Applications Manager client. For more information about launching the stand-alone client applications, see Launching the stand-alone Applications Manager and System Management Console.
   • You can launch the Applications Manager in any supported browser by using the Java™ Web Start launcher.
