I am using Worklight 6.2 and we are planning to migrate to 7.1.
Some of my queries:
1) What need to change in the project files which has been developed on version 6.2 and how to do this?
2) What Server side changes have to do?
Appreciate if anyone can provide me the proper way to upgrade WorkLight Project & Server 6.2 to MobileFirst 7.1
Thank you.
These are very generic questions and they very much depend on how and what did you implement in your project.
Note that there is an automatic migration tool, so I suggest that you will first import your project to MobileFirst Studio 7.1 and try to run your project. That's the first step in ensuring proper migration.
You should then review what has changed since 6.2, so read the 6.3, 7.0 and 7.1 What's New documents to get a better understanding:
6.3: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_6.3.0/com.ibm.worklight.getstart.doc/start/c_release_notes.html
7.0: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.0.0/com.ibm.worklight.getstart.doc/start/c_release_notes.html
7.1: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.getstart.doc/start/c_release_notes.html
Please find the documentation for the Migration of Worklight Project to 7.1 https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.upgrade.doc/devenv/c_migrating_projects.html?lang=en

We have developed a worklight 6.2 application which is in production, now we are requested to add a new module and migrate the existing application to mobilefirst v8. Kindl advice, if it is advisable to migrate from 6.2 to 8 directly, and provide us any links which would help us to understand more.
Thanks
This should be your starting point https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/upgrading/migration-cookbook/ for migrating to 8.0 from any older version starting from MFP 6.2 (/6.3/7/7.1).
I need to deploy an application to Worklight 6.2, but the latest IDE i have only targets for MobileFirst 7.1. I am trying to manually edit the meta/dployment.data file(pasted below). I updated the platform.version to 6.2 manually. Can someone help me with:
If someone can share a sample .wlapp archive targetted for WL 6.2, specifically iOSNative app with authentication disabled.
Or if someone can help me plug the right values into below file. Mainly this value "app.authenticity.obscuredata=23.507-9.852-31.807"
This is the content of XYZ.wlapp/meta/deployment.data file
#Deployment data.

This is not possible, as explained in your previous question.
If you need the Studio for 6.2, then do not install Studio from Eclipse marketplace, as from there you get only the latest studio - 7.1. The latest is simply not backwards compatible, nor can it be as the product has changed significantly. You also cannot take a 7.1 project and open it in Studio 6.2 and expect it to work... or start altering it.
You need to create a new 6.2 project using Studio 6.2, and copy your implementation into it.
Please go to IBM Fix Central, download Studio for your build level (6.2), and install it manually into your Eclipse. And use that.
Only 6.2 studio will produce 6.2 server compatible projects, applications, adapters and any other artifacts.
I have developed an Apple Watch application using IBM MobileFirst Platform 6.3 in testing environment and it's working fine.
My clarification is to know, whether the same Apple Watch application development will work using IBM Worklight 6.0.
Worklight 6.0 was not tested with the Apple-supplied WatchKit, but there are no known issues preventing it from not working.
It should be noted that at this time IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation (previously known as "Worklight") does not claim Apple Watch support.
You can go ahead and try to see if it is working. As you have already experienced, it does work with MobileFirst Platform Foundation 6.3. Why go back to Worklight 6.0? Upgrade your existing application instead (and there are very good reasons for that from 6.0.0.2).
I know that there is a separation of the lifecycle of the MFP Studio and MFP Server. What happens if the development team updated the Studio with a fix? In other words, is it supported to deploy a runtime for example v6.3.0.00.20150214-1702 to a MFP Server v6.3.0.00.20141127-1357?
The scenario you've described it a supported scenario. The MFP Server should be able to host a .war file generated from a newer MFP Studio build of the same major version (6.3, and I believe support from this scenario exists starting 6.1 or 6.2).
Of course, if you encounter a problem you should probably open a PMR on that. :)
I am trying to download the IBM Worklight 6.1 from market place or google but i can't see any results for same, Can any one please share a link for IBM WL 6.1 and also how to upgrade the fix pack to 6.1.0.1. Also i am looking for developers edition. Since the 6.2 is released i can only see 6.2 links and not 6.1
Can any one please suggest what can be done. Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks

For Worklight Developer Edition, only the latest released version (which is 6.2, at this moment) is available from the Eclipse Marketplace as an Eclipse update site. If you really want 6.1.0.1 Developer Edition, you can download it as an Eclipse installation archive here:
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/products/en/MobileFirstPlatform/iws_update_site_wde.6.1.0.2.zip
The prior 6.1 Developer Edition version (before Fix Pack 1) is not available for download any longer.
