  10. When the installation is complete, if you have a Linux/UNIX Process Manager Server, complete the following steps to connect to the Process Manager Server from a Windows client. Otherwise, skip to step 14.
    1. Open the configuration file %JS_ENVDIR%/js.conf and set the parameter JS_LOGIN_REQUIRED=true.
    2. From the Start menu, select IBM Corporation and IBM Spectrum LSF Process Manager, and the appropriate application: Flow Editor, Flow Manager, or Calendar Editor.

      Enter your user name and password when prompted to log on to the Linux/UNIX Process Manager Server.

    Both the Flow Manager and the Calendar Editor require a connection to the Server to be able to start. If you are unable to start either of these applications, there is an error in the configuration, or the Server is not yet started.
