Mobile First Platform v 7.1 cannot register the devices - ibm-mobilefirst

We have done the installation and configuration of MFP 7.1V with WAS 8.5.5.0 V successfully.Here we are able to access the operation and analytics console and able to add the application (.wlapp files) and adapter files and able to access those application in tab by instantiating an apk files in the tab.
But here the issue we are facing is we are not able to get the devices list in the operation console and analytics and devices tracking in the analytics console.

So essentially I guess the issue is that the applications fail to connect to the server at all. Please edit your question with the full client-side log with the errors.
Until then my suggest is to verify in the generate .plist/.properties file that you are indeed attempting to connect to the correct server. Verify the host, port and context-root values in the files.

Push service shows up as inactive on the map console

I installed IBM Mobile First 8.0.0. I deployed Push service and the tables are also created. In the mobile first console the push service is showing as inactive. On inspecting the element in the chrome error window it points to GET URL returning 404. When i paste the URL in the browser and execute, it returns the live update adapter is not available and the database may be corrupted
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated
If you installed the MobileFirst DevKit, then this shouldn't happen since everything is built-in. Try reinstalling in this case.
If this is a production or test environment installation using the IBM Installation Manager and Configuration tool, then you may have specified an incorrect path of the push services .war file. You can confirm this by comparing the various paths that are defined in the application server's server.xml file.

Worklight 6.1.0.1 Fix Pack Contents Definitive List

When looking at the contents of Version 6.1.0 Fix Pack 1, it doesn't appear to list PI06519 as one of it's constituents, yet when applying the fix pack in a bid to address the slow start up issue, it appears to fix the problem.
Is this supposed to be the definitive list of the contents of the fix pack and is simply an oversight, or should I be looking somewhere else for the full contents of it?
There is some problem with listing this APAR in the list of fixes which has yet to be resolved.

Analytics tab empty in Worklight Console

I've added an analytics server (Linux, accessible from the http:///iwap/worklight/v1/index.html) to use with my Worklight 6 server, but, the "Analytics" tab is now displaying, but, is empty.
The changed the wl.analytics.url under the war configuration for "Environment entries for web modules" and restarted the app.
The Worklight V6 Information Center (under "Installing and configuring the IBM Websphere Analytics PLatform"|"Configuring Worklight Server for analytics") says to use the format "http://<>iwap/v1/events/_bulk, but, the description column in the "Environment entries for web modules" settings says to use "http:///iwap/v1/events/app_activities". I've tried both, both with same result, empty screen under the Analytics tab.
Not sure where to go at this point, any one set this up successfully?
The correct syntax is:
http://${iwap.server.path}/iwap/v1/events/_bulk
If the analytics tab is blank, its possible that your IWAP server is not currently running or is unreachable from your worklight server.
In truth, the analytics tab just acts as an iFrame. You can visit the analytics console using the URL:
http://${iwap.server.path}/iwap/worklight/v1/index.html
If you are unable to visit that link, then the issue is with your IWAP server. Make sure that the server is started using the command "service analytics start" on the IWAP machine.
The IP address you enter is the IP address of the analytics server you installed independently of the Worklight server. Have you done this?
Installing and Configuring the analytics platform
The analytics tab in the Worklight console simply shows an iframe, using a slightly modified URL from the one you entered in the configuration. If you entered
http://<>/iwap/v1/events/_bulk (this the correct URL)
The URL you can visit is
http://<>/iwap/worklight/v1/index.html
You said you can visit it directly. Can you view the network tab or console in Firebug or Chrome developer tools to see if the URL it is attempting to visit from the Worklight console is correct?

WP push files to device over company app

With a company App configured on a Windows phone there is the posibiltiy to push the installation of an App. When the user starts the pushed App some configuration data must be introduced. I would like to save the user this step but I still don't know how. Isn't it possible to push files over the company App/Exchange, as it is on a Windows machine? So I could read the configuration out of this file.
your use case does raise many questions (probably just terminology)
The only way to push an APP to a device is through the Windows Phone store or website.
If you want to push configuration to a device for an app then the app must be run at least once to enable that ability and you could then use a background task to periodically check for new configuration and download it.
The other thing you can investigate is push notifications but they are not really meant for pushing data, you can sent simple objects or data to the device as a raw push but the app must be running first.
The most common way to achieve what you describe is to have the app load config at launch, locally first and then update it from a web call (if web is available, as these are mobile devices you can not guarantee connectivity). We do something very similar with AdRotator where we try to download config at start and if that fails use a locally cached version.
As of WP 8.0 there isn't the possibility to push Apps or Files through the company App.

Worklight context root not updating / How to redeploy worklight server in eclipse dev

Afternoon All,
Here is my context:
I am setting up an existing worklight project with App Envs for IPhone, Android, and Mobile Web.
When using the Worklight Console to preview the apps, I get context root errors from the iPhone app only. (I get the Error: The Server was unable to process the request from the appl...)
When I open the browsers JS console, I see the problem is that the app is requesting the wrong context root. It is accessing the /worklight/ context, which is not there.
The contextroot that does work is the following:
http://localhost:8080/apps/services/api/[APPNAME]/iphone/init
The Context root that the iphone is trying to hit:
http://localhost:8080/worklight/apps/services/api/[APPNAME]/iphone/init
Here is the weird part. The context root is fine for the Android, and Mobile Web environments. Only the iPhone environment is having context root issues.
All three environments are sharing the same application-descriptor.xml file and same server.
Below are some file outputs.
Files below:
/server/conf/worklight.properties
publicWorkLightHostname=localhost
publicWorkLightProtocol=http
publicWorkLightPort=8080
publicWorkLightContext=/worklight/
/apps/[APPNAME]/application-descriptor.xml
<worklightServerRootURL>http://localhost:8080</worklightServerRootURL>
So a couple of questions.
1) When setting the context roots, what is the relationship between the client and server. Do the context roots have to match between the two? Is one a master and the other simply slaves from that and does not need settings?
2) (Somewhat unrelated) While debugging this issue I have come across zero documentation about how to go about "un-deploying" the server in the Eclipse dev ide. (un-deploy the server is right from IBM's documentation) I need to know how to redeploy the server when I make changes to the server settings (worklight.properties). I have seen references to cracking open the war manually, to just stopping and starting the server in the IDE.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
If you are using a context root, it must exist in both worklight.properties and application-descriptor.xml. make sure both match, then re-build and deploy and see if the problem persists.
When using the development edition of Worklight, your server is based on Jetty which is run within Eclipse (it is bundled with the Worklight Studio plug-in you have installed in Eclipse). You do not need to "undeploy" anything. Simply make the changes to worklight.properties and application-descriptor.xml and re-build your application. The changes will make their way to both the server and client.
Do note, though, that using a context root is mainly for when using application servers such as Tomcat, Liberty or WAS.
