A workbench for IBM Sterling OMS

See exactly what every Sterling OMS call does.

Run and simulate API, service and agent calls against any environment — in an isolated sandbox, with built-in APM tracing, and without writing to the real database.

macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel) · Windows · works against your existing Sterling runtimes

Features

A console for Sterling calls — plus an APM.

Everything you'd reach for on a support case, a config change, or a tricky debug — in one window.

Simulate any call

APIs, services/flows and agents — run them exactly as the platform would, against the real config, and read the response inline.

Isolated sandbox

Every probe runs in its own write overlay and journal. Reads hit the live system; writes never touch the real database.

Built-in APM tracing

See the call tree, SQL, timings and async fan-out for each run — the slow query or the extra hop, right where it happened.

Every environment

Point it at each of your runtimes — dev, QA, preprod, prod. The API catalog and config come live from that install.

No install on the server

Nothing is deployed into Sterling. Loupe drives your runtime from your laptop — read the jars where they are.

Postman-style tabs

Keep several probes open, name them, re-run them. Each one freezes with exactly the request it sent and the result it got.

How it works

From download to first call in minutes.

No server changes, no staging data — point it at a runtime and go.

01

Point at a runtime

Add an environment with its Sterling runtime directory and login. Loupe reads the API catalog and config straight from it.

02

Run a probe

Pick an API, service or agent, give it input, and simulate. It runs in a sandbox — reads are real, writes are captured.

03

Read the trace

See the response, the SQL, the call tree and timings. Tweak and re-run until you understand it.

First launch

The app isn't code-signed yet, so your OS shows a one-time security prompt:

macOS — unzip (double-click the .zip), then open Terminal and run:

xattr -cr ~/Downloads/Loupe.app

…then double-click Loupe.app. (One time only.)

Windows — run the .exe and click More info → Run anyway.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does Loupe write to my Sterling database?

No. Each probe runs in an isolated sandbox: reads go to the live system, but writes are captured in a per-probe overlay and journal and never committed to the real database.

Do I need to install anything on the Sterling server?

No. Loupe runs on your laptop and drives your existing Sterling runtime directory. Nothing is deployed into the OMS server.

Which platforms are supported?

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows.

How does licensing work?

A license is per-seat. Your activation enrolls your device; an admin can manage seats and devices at any time. Licenses are delivered securely and verified at startup.

Can I try it first?

Reach out and we'll get you set up with an evaluation.

Stop guessing what a call actually did.

Simulate it, trace it, and read the result — safely, on your own machine.
