Starting the applications manager

This topic describes how to launch 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 both the Applications Manager and the monitor in the System Management Console are opened at the same time, and if a dialogue window is opened in either application, the other stops responding to user input until that dialogue window is closed. This is due to a bug in the Java™ platform.
   Note: The Applications Manager can be launched directly with Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can also launch it through other browsers by using the Java™ Web Start launcher.
