Please help me in configuring two IBM MObilefirst Platform 7.1 ap server to one IBM HTTP Web server. As per the IBM Documents I should follow Server Farm configurations.
Need guidance in doing the same.
Scenario 1
Resources: Two App Servers with IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 installed and plugin-cfg geneated using jConsole. Each app server is having separate DB for each. One web server with IBM HTTP installed.
Scenario 2Resources: Two App Servers with IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 installed and plugin-cfg geneated using jConsole. Both the app server is having common DB. One web server with IBM HTTP installed.
I need both the app servers to be up at the same time in the above given scenarios. Please let me know in scenario one should I install any separate plugin for setting up server farm configuration.
note:In Scenario 2 currently only one App server can be made up at a time
Use JConsole to generate the plugin-cfg.xml from your individual Liberty servers. You can either merge the plugin-cfg.xml files manually or use Job Manager to generate a merged plugin from both the Liberty servers.
More details here:
Setting up HTTP Server in a WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile farm
Manually merge the files by using a text editor.
Use the job manager to submit a Generate merged plugin configuration for Liberty servers job.

I installed IBM mobilefirst server on Liberty Profile in z/Linux(SUSE). I find the Server Configuration Tool can not be started, but it can be start in Windows7.
I want to know that Server Configuration Tool can not be started only in z/Linux or all platform(x86,AMD).
Server config tool is not available for z/Linux and AIX platforms.
For these platforms the MFP configuration can be done using Ant task scripts instead.
The below link has the information about Creating and configuring the database for MobileFirst Server administration with Ant tasks and also

I'm trying to install IBM Mobilefirst 7.0 server on production Ubuntu server in Amazon. The server has no GUI. I installed Websphere Application Server and IBM Mobilefirst server using silent installation of IBM Installation Manager and response file created on server with GUI. But now I'm stuck at a point where I have to configure MobileFirst server using server configuration tool. But I'm not able to find out how to do this without GUI since server configuration tool is GUI based. Any pointers or help would be highly appreciated!
You can use ant tasks to proceed with the configuration without the GUI.
Detailed steps for this can be found in the link below.

What I was asking for is way to implement MobileFirst Server administration without using GUI as given in step number 6 in this link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/#!/SSHSCD_6.3.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/install_config/t_ov_server_install.html. Since the server I was working on does not have a GUI, I was stuck at step 6. But I found the way out now and for someone who is looking for this, the way to do is using ant scripts. Steps are listed at this link : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/#!/SSHS8R_7.0.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/devref/t_ant_tasks_configure_dbs_wlconsole.html
Worklight Liberty Server Farm is described here:

A Worklight Server Farm on Liberty is described here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/admin/t_setting_up_WL_liberty_8_5_cluster_env.html
The first link discusses server farms. The second link mentions a server farm, but then mentions standalone servers in a cluster. Has IBM confused the terms cluster and farm in the second link?
What does a Farm give me over a regular set of standalone servers in a cluster?
Thanks
The first link, http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/install_config/t_install_server_farm_man_liberty.html is about a mandatory configuration of Worklight 6.2 so that Worklight administration operations (basically any operation performed from the administration console such as uploading a wlapp) are propagated to all instances in the farm. If that procedure is not followed the farm will behave inconsistently.
The second link (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/admin/t_setting_up_WL_liberty_8_5_cluster_env.html) is about using IBM HTTP Server as a front end to all Worklight server instances. Following that procedure only is not sufficient in Worklight 6.2, to have a functional farm.
Hello Folks,
We are recently working on IBM worklight and what we want to try is:
We have two machine, one we want to set as server and other one is for my developer to build the app.
Currently we have installed Apache Tomcat server on the machine which we want to make as server. We even have IBM Worklight installed on it. Now What I want to achieve is to deploy the app from other machine to this server. But I am not able to set up the things properly.
Things done so far:
Installed Apache Tomcat server software on a machine (server)
Installed IBM Installation Manager
I am not getting how will I set up the Worklight Server on this machine. Can anyone provide some information?
You cannot directly deploy from Worklight Studio (the Eclipse plug-in) to a remote Worklight Server.
The steps you need to take are:
Setup your application for a remote server, via the Build Settings and Deploy Target window
Build the app
Take the .wlapp/.adapter file and deploy it to the remote Worklight Server via it's Worklight Console
If you have done any server-related changes (authenticationConfig.xml, Java code, ...) you will need to first deploy the project's .war file to the application server that hosts the remote Worklight Server, and then the .wlapp.
Iam into a different usecase,
Iam workling on General webapplications which we develop using rad for Websphere, and Worklight applications also.
My query here is, can we deploy my webapplication's ear/war file to the Worklight server?
We have a worklight server but dont have hosting for webaplication till now, so can we use the worklight server for hosting the webapplications' ear/war? is there any possibility to do that?
The Worklight Server is able to process Worklight-based applications, not other type of "web-based" applications.
I believe the original question is if we could use Worklight server to deploy EAR/WARs of any applications which are not related to Worklight.
Answer: When the Worklight is nothing but an J2EE application deployed in WAS or WAS Liberty Core, i dont see any issue deploying any EAR/WAR of applications which are not related to Worklight. But i dont think it is highly recommended or advisable since it is against the licensing policy in the Worklight purchase.
