What is Order Hub (Orderhub):-
Who ever has worked on IBM Sterling commerce, they are well aware of IBM Sterling conole (admin console). Admin console is the one of webbased UI for the IBM sterling commerce application. Admin console opens in IE only and Application Manager (Configurator) can be launched from admin console. As Microsoft IE browser is getting sunset, Admin console also needs to go to sunset as it has hard dependency with IE.
