About the Mirth® Connect Administrator Launcher

You can use the Administrator graphical user interface (GUI) to log on to a Mirth® Connect server and create, modify, and deploy channels. In previous versions, this GUI opened on your local desktop with Java Web Start technology. However, Java 11 and later versions have completely removed Java Web Start technology. The Administrator Launcher is a replacement for Java Web Start technology, and it can be used to open the Administrator on your local desktop for any version of Mirth® Connect you are using or any Java version.
