When I run the MobileFirst Operation by right clicking the MF project on Eclipse and then selecting the , like so:
I get a Operation Console site but different from the ones I find on the internet. In this site I can't find the download center.
Does anybody know what I did wrong?
The Download Center in the MobileFirst Operations Console that you are talking about is part of MobileFirst Foundation 8.0, whereas what you are using is MobileFirst Platform Foundation 7.x.
What you are using in the screen shot is MobileFirst Studio for MobileFirst Platform Foundation 7.1. In MobileFirst Foundation 8.0 there is no longer a studio component as you may be accustomed to.
Instead, in v8.0 what you need to do is to either download the Developer Kit which will extract a pre-configured Liberty server with MobileFirst Server deployed to it, in which case after starting it and visiting the console, you will then see the downloads center you are looking for.
Or, instead of downloading the DevKit, you can start a server instance on IBM Bluemix.
To download the DevKit, visit here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/downloads/
Then follow the instructions on how to start the server, etc. You are more then encouraged to read the docs, here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/all-tutorials/
To start a server instance on Bluemix, first create an account on Bluemix.net and then read this doc on how to start a server instance: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/bluemix/using-mobile-foundation/

Good Day!
I have a confusing with the IBM MobileFirst v8.0, does Mobilefirst App are only using Bluemix service / Server, or can MobileFirst App run on MobileFirst Server v8.0 alone and also does the MobileFirst Server same with MobileFirst Developer Kit.
You can run MobileFirst Server either on-prem, meaning you install it locally in production-ready server that you maintain yourself,
Or you can use IBM Bluemix. In Bluemix you are "given" a space where you can either use the Mobile Foundation service, which takes care of setting up a server for you with MobileFirst Server, or you can go through some steps to create it yourself.
To install on-prem: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/installation-configuration/
To install on Bluemix: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/bluemix/
In case of on-prem be sure to first contact IBM to purchase a license so you could gain access to download the required files.
The developer kit is like on-prem, and provides a ready environment for development purposes locally in your computer. It is like the Developer plan when using the Mobile Foundation service plan in Bluemix.

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
I am trying to install and configure Worklight application center on liberty profile.
I have installed the worklight 6.2 using the installation manager. Along the installation process i have installed the appcenter as well.
The installation was successful. But when i try to access the console it giving me "Context root not found".
Also I have checked the server.xml of the liberty server. It contains the appcenterconsole.war and the applicationcenter.war mapped.
Does anyone experience this problem as well?
This might be the same problem as mentioned here: Worklight Development Server does not start
Please make sure you use Oracle Java, not IBM Java!
Can we implement IWAP reports with developer edition of IBM Worklight 6.0 ? If yes please guide me with technical document or any link. Is this feature only available with Enterprise or Consumer version ?
If yes then how can we implement/test this on development environment. And can anyone please provide me with list of features which are not available with developer version(one which comes into my mind is Application Center).
The Operational Analytics feature introduced in Worklight 6.0 is only available for paid versions of IBM Worklight 6.0. There's a file (analytics.zip) in the resulting IBM Installation Manager output folder that contains everything you need to setup the IBM Websphere Analytics Platform (IWAP). Once you have IWAP installed, you will need to modify a couple of properties inside worklight.properties which, among other things, tell the Worklight Server where to send the analytics data.
Regarding features found only in paid versions, beside Application Center and Operational Analytics, ability to use other DBMS (MySQL, DB2, etc.) and Application Servers (WAS, Tomcat, etc.). There are also Ant scripts that aim to help with common tasks like deployments.

Getting Started Module
I was going through this IBM Worklight Information Center article to access the Application Center management console, but the URL mentioned is not working. Is there any other proper guideline available to achieve this?
The URL provided seems correct.
What error do you see in the browser window when the loading of this URL fails?
Did you install Worklight using the IBM Installation Mananger?
Assuming that "yes", as this is the only installation path for Application Center
What did you choose as your underlying application server?
Did you start the application server?
IBM Worklight Application Center is not provided with the Developer Edition, installable via the Eclipse Marketplace and IBM Worklight website.
