Launching stand-alone Applications Manager to connect to cloud environment

You can use the stand-alone Applications Manager to connect to your cloud environments for managing your configurations.

To run the stand-alone Applications Manager for connecting your cloud environments, complete the following steps.

1. Download the .p12 file for the certificate that is generated from Self Service. For more information, see Generating inbound certificates.
2. Import certificate into the Java keystore.
3. Extract the Applications Manager from the downloaded developer toolkit. For information about extracting the Applications Manager, see Launching the stand-alone Applications Manager to connect to the developer toolkit environment.
4. Run the .jar file by using either of the following commands depending on whether you are on the next-generation or legacy platform of Sterling Order Management System:
   • If you are on the next-generation platform, the command specifies the Java keystore directory path and the password.

     java -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=.p12 file 
     -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=.p12 password 
     -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12 -jar client.jar

   • If you are on the legacy platform, use this command:

     java -jar client.jar

   You can get the application URL from Self Service. For more information, see Accessing applications.

   For example, your URL in Self Service is https://prod.1oms.supply-chain.ibm.com/smcfs/console/login.jsp, use https://prod.1oms.supply-chain.ibm.com part from the URL in the stand-alone Applications Manager.

5. In the Login window, use the following procedure for accessing the application URL:
   When IBMid is not enabled

   1. In the Application Console Login ID field, enter the Order Management user ID.
   2. In the Application Console Password field, enter the Password for the Order Management user ID.

   When IBMid is enabled

   1. In the Login window, select the Passcode Login checkbox.
   2. Enter the URL to access the Application Console in the Application Console URL field in the following format:
      http://hostname or IP address:port
   3. In the Application Console Context field, enter smcfs.
   4. From the Open following URL in a browser field, copy the URL and open the URL in a browser.
   5. Copy the generated passcode and paste it in the Enter Passcode field in the Login window.
   6. Click OK.

   Notes:

   • A stand-alone Applications Manager that is built from a specific version of a developer toolkit can connect to an Applications Manager running on a cloud environment of the same version. To check the product version, see the About box of an application that is deployed in a developer toolkit environment.
   • Whenever the product version changes, you must repeat the build steps to obtain a new stand-alone Applications Manager.
   • To launch the System Management Console, use the following command:

     java -jar client.jar -mode SMC
