Body

This is an internal tool available for below versions

9.3 FP 22

9.4 FP 23

9.5 FP 11

One time steps. (You may want to redo these steps after FP installation)
1) Build the standalone client
        Goto <install>/bin and run the below command. This will create a zip file named 'AppManager_<version>.zip' in the directory "<install>/ApplicationManagerClient"
        sci_ant.cmd -f buildApplicationManagerClient.xml

2)  unzip the contents of the above zip file 'AppManager_<version>.zip' into any local directory. This will extract a jar called "client_<version>.jar" and a directory called "lib_<version>".


Running the standalone client to connect to ANY running server.(Server product version should be same as the version on which client was built)

1) Ensure that JDK 1.7 or above is set in the path, and go to the local directory where client was unzipped. Run the below command.
        java -jar client_<version>.jar

This will launch the standalone application manager. You will be challenged with a login screen (as shown in the attached picture) where you need to enter the login credentials. Along with the credentials, you can can also specify the URL of the server to which you want to connect to.



Running the System Management Console as standalone client
1) Ensure that JDK 1.7 or above is set in the path, and go to the local directory where client was unzipped. Run the below command.
        java -jar client_<version>.jar -mode SMC


Running the Channel Application Manager (COM configurator) as standalone client
1) Ensure that JDK 1.7 or above is set in the path, and go to the local directory where client was unzipped. Run the below command.
        java -jar client_<version>.jar -mode YCD
