How can I disable the APP DIAGNOSTIC screenshot after the occurrence of an error ? It appears selecting it on an error POPUP in the app itself. This app is hybrid and based on MobileFirst 7.1.
There is no flag to remove the 'Details' button that appears in the pop-up that leads to this Diagnostics table.
I believe you should be able to override the dialog all-together and provide your own by using the onConnectionFailure property in the initOptions.js file. You should have there the following snippet
// # The callback function to invoke in case application fails to connect to MobileFirst Server
//onConnectionFailure: function (){},

Have changed the status of my app to Active notifying in mobilefirst console, and I have tried to send custom notification message to app, but the application on device is not receiving the message sent from mobilefirst console.
In the app, we are using WL.Client.connect, and we are using adapters as well, any suggestions ?
Where can we check whether this feature is disabled in worklight?
Any mobilefirst trace that we can enable to identify the issue?
Kindly suggest.
You cannot disable the feature, it's either used (by setting the app version to Remote Notify) or not used.
The message appears only once during the application lifecycle (unless you send a different message), so make sure you didn't miss it.
Additionally, make sure that in case you have multiple versions of your app, that you are looking at the correct app version that you've sent the message to.
Created a simple hybrid app. Only have the following in the code
main.js
function wlCommonInit() {
WL.Client.connect({
onSuccess: function() {alert ("OK");},
onFailure: function (string) {alert ("fail" + string);}
});
}
I created a mobile web environment.
After I did a Build All Environment, Run it on the Server.
I right click on the mobile web environment > Preview
I kept getting a pop up alert saying "Access Denied" with a button named reload
I moved to my iphone and in the safari, typed in the URL for the mobile web. I got exactly the same error on my iphone.
Please assist.
You haven't told us what version of MobileFirst Platform Foundation you are using, but I am guessing that it is 7.1.
In 7.1, a new Session-Independent Mode was introduced, and is turned on by default. However, session-independent mode is not supported in browser-based environments (such as mobile web). If you try to use an app that's configured for session-independent mode in an environment that doesn't support it, you will get this error. If you want to create an app in 7.1 that uses a browser-based environment, you'll need to disable session-independent mode.
If you go into your project's "worklight.properties" file, set (or change) these values:
mfp.session.independent=false
mfp.attrStore.type=HttpSession
and then rebuild/deploy your project, it should work.
Please see the doc page I've linked above for further information about session-independent mode.
I'm using worklight application management features from an Android native App.
I want that when in the console the application status is changed to "Access Disabled" the only option for the user will be to quit.
In the Knowledge Center and in Developer works there is documentation about how to do it:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.appadmin.doc/admin/t_denying_access_to_older_app_versions.html?lang=en
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/worklight/entry/how_to_create_a_customized_remote_disable_behavior?lang=en
It is explained that you must set a specific value for the initOptions object used in the WL.Client.init() method.
But in the Android native API I have not found the way to set the initOptions. The init method is deprecated and it does not accept initOptions.
Also, in case of Remote Disable the ResponseListener used in the WLClient.connect(aResponseListener) is not invoked, success or failure, no method is executed. Is this working as designed? I would expect a failure or success but not nothing.
Is it possible in a native app to force the application to close in case of Remote Disable?
How could I handle this situation manually in the app?
Unfortunately I do not have an example for you, but this is the general idea.
See if you can work with it (if someone can produce an example - please do...):
You need to create your own Remote Disable challenge handler that will extend the default Worklight Remote Disable challenge handler (RemoteDisableChallengeHandler.java).
class MyRemoteDisableChallengeHandler extends WLRemoteDisableChallengeHandler
Then you need to implement your custom logic in MyRemoteDisableChallengeHandler
WLClient.registerChallengeHander(new MyRemoteDisableChallengeHandler())
This will override the original.
You'll need to create your own dialog with a Quit button.
Some additional documentation.
For handling MaM configurations, this is, when you configure the app as Lost, Stolen, etc, in the Worklight Console -> Devices tab you must install the Fix IF201408281937 (Worklight 6.2) or later.
This events are also handled with the ChallengeHandler registered for the realm "wl_remoteDisableRealm"
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.

Using the Worklight v5.0.6 code sample/tutorial "Integrating server-generated pages in hybrid applications" (http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/mobile-solutions/worklight/docs/v506/WebViewOverlay.zip) allows for the web content to be integrated. The code sample works fine and web content integrated correctly.
However, when I set connectOnStartup to true in the apps//common/js/initOptions.js file, the tabs and web content from the WebViewOverlay fail to load.
I see in the wlclient.js (apps//android/native/assets/www/default/wlclient/js/wlclient.js) that there is a check that if doConnectionOnStartup is true, then call WL.Utils.wlCheckReachability(), else call finalizeInit()
It appears that the WebViewOverlay and the tabs are created by the finalizeInit() being called, but if connectOnStartup is set true, then finalizeInit is not called.
How can I get both the WebViewOverlay to work and the connectOnStartup to work together?
This is, most probably, caused by connection failure. wlCommonInit function will be invoked only after successful connection, in case connection fails it will never be invoked. First of all - check your connectivity from a mobile handset to WL server. Second, you can either manually use WL.Client.connect() after tabbar was initialized (like Carlos suggested) or specify onConnectionFailure callback in your initOptions.
I provided what I did above in the comments - but it turned out that the dialog box to indicate an update was available was not showing up, and instead the error message "WL.SimpleDialog.show() error in invoking callback." was seen in the log messages of logcat. This log message is coming from worklight.js (apps//android/native/assets/www/default/wlclient/js/worklight.js) on line 820. Just FYI, I did change the worklight.js code to print out err, and it said "No class found". I didn't take the troubleshooting any further at that point
So the app was contacting the WL Server correctly, but the dialog to indicate an update was available was not appearing.
To fix, I simply created a new hybrid app and brought over the necessary code to get the WebViewOverlay to work
