Opening the Java Client Console

If an error occurs on the Mirth® Connect server, you will typically see one or more entries appear in the Logs. If an error occurs in the Mirth Connect Administrator, it is possible that it is isolated to the client-side only, and so nothing will appear in the server-side logs. In cases like this, it is useful to enable the Java Client Console to see any exceptions that occur on your client-side Java virtual machine (JVM). To enable the console, first open the Java Control Panel: In your System Preferences (on OSX) or the Control Panel (on Windows), open the Java section. A new dialog will appear: Select on the Advanced tab. Select Show console. Select Apply, then select OK. Now when you launch the Administrator, you will see a second window also pop-up: Any exceptions that are logged to stdout / stderr on the client side will appear in that console.
