I am new to the IBM Mobilefirst platform. I want to install the Application center on my machine via the IBM installation manager. I currently have Windows 7 Professional OS installed on my machine.
I referred the below link from OS Pre-requisites -
http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/osForProduct?deliverableId=46183B706BEA11E48038141DE954FC88#osFamily-2
Here it mentions that i need a Windows Server 2012 R2 standard edition to install application center.
I don't have this setup and i only need to access the application center for my understanding and evaluation purpose. So i have 2 questions to ask -
Do i ONLY need a Windows Server machine to install Application Center?
If yes, than is there some place i can get a free demo of the application center for evaluation purpose?
Thanks!
There is no free demo available...
I'm pretty sure you can also install it on Windows 7.
The suggested setup is for production use.

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/
I have installed Linux on the pi before. I now need to install windows 10 for IoT. Whats the best way for me to do it?
I know that I can connect using powershell. Is there a GUI for controlling it?
Thank you
To install IoT core easily on a Pi there is a tool from Microsoft called the
IoT Core Dashboard.
This tool is an easy to use setup wizard that will format and install the Win10 IoT image.
Once the installation is finished you can access the dashboard of your pi through the browser from this tool or by typing in the local IP address.
There is an easy to use guide for installation found here: Getting Started
You may also connect using powershell after your initial setup: Connect with PowerShell
I am new to this JProfiler stuff. I am responsible to determine the best Java profiler for profiling IBM JVM 1.5 for my reputed client.
As per the connectivity of our servers, we have our application running on UNIX/LINUX machine with non GUI support. We can only use SSH (from VmWare) to connect the servers. In this scenario we will be using a Windows System in VMWare (having GUI capability) where we are planning to install the profiler (using Windows based installer) with a single license.
I would require the answers of the following questions before I can propose this tool for license procurement to my client :
Does it support IBM Webspehere Application Server 6 which runs on IBM JVM 1.5 ?
Can we extract the UNIX version of the JProfiler installation (.tar) on the UNIX/LINUX remote machine and can use the non GUI integration utilities like jpenable OR jpintegrate so that the profiled application can be connected from the VmWare Windows system as mentioned above ? In this case do we have to purchase a separate license to use these utilities in the remote machine? Please note that we will be using WAS 6 with IBM JVM 1.5.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Does it support IBM Webspehere Application Server 6 which runs on IBM JVM 1.5 ?
Yes, that is supported by JProfiler 8.
Can we extract the UNIX version of the JProfiler installation (.tar)
on the UNIX/LINUX remote machine and can use the non GUI integration
utilities like jpenable OR jpintegrate so that the profiled
application can be connected from the VmWare Windows system as
mentioned above ?
Yes.
In this case do we have to purchase a separate license to use these
utilities in the remote machine?
You don't need a license key on the remote machine, just for the JProfiler GUI.
I am trying to search file system using Search.CollatorDSO:
Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties="Application=Windows"
On what Windows OS is this provider available by default? According to this question it is not installed on Web editions of Windows Server.
If it is not installed can it be installed manually?
After much digging, it appears the only way to get the ole db provider: Search.CollatorDSO is to enable the Search service in windows OS itself. Installing Search Server from the download does not install it. (Confusing!)
Note that Windows Search Service, what this thrad is about, is completely distinct from "Search Server."
I am just curious if there is a way to package up a Windows 8 Metro application to distribute it to others with the Windows 8 Developer Preview installed? It would be nice to be able to allow someone to just download and install, rather than requiring them to install VS'11 Preview and compile the code themselves in order to test out / use a Windows 8 Metro application that I've built.
Is there a way to distribute a compiled Windows 8 Metro application for others to test/use since the Windows Store is not yet live?
This would likely be useful for testing Metro apps on non-development machines even after the Windows Store is live.
Each machine that wants to install the application will need a developer license. See this page for some details.
When you have your app ready:
select Store->Create App Package
Select Build a package to use locally only
Follow the prompts
This will create a package in whatever folder you specified. You should be able to copy that to another developer-licensed machine and install it.
There will be a batch file called Add-AppxDevPackage in the directory. Running it will install the app. It must be run as an admininistrator.
Distributing apps outside store is possible after complying to the prerequisites listed in this MSDN article. It also covers the process of application installation using PowerShell. Though it appears quite complicated, note that MSIs work fine for Windows 8 metro apps so you can probably enclose the installation process into one small instalator.
From the article
Requires Windows 8 Enterprise Edition, and must be joined to a domain, and the domain must have the Allow all trusted applications to install Group Policy setting.
for Windows 8 Professional, and Windows RT, or a non-domain joined machine, you must buy a sideloading product activation key from Microsoft
the application must be signed by a key that is trusted by the computer
Once you've purchased your sideloading product key from Microsoft, add the sideloading product key:
>Slmgr /ipk <sideloading product key>
To enable side-loading, enable the following guid:
>slmgr /ato ec67814b-30e6-4a50-bf7b-d55daf729d1e
To add an application, from a powershell prompt:
>add-appxpackage C:\app1.appx –DependencyPath C:\winjs.appx
Windows 8.1 Update
According to the latest announcements by Microsoft the next update to Windows 8.1 will allow all the devices running the Pro version to sideload applications without sideloading activation key. So far this has been the case only for the Enterprise version. Bare in mind that the machine will still need to be a part of the AD domain. Additionally, if you still run a previous version but you're part of any of the below programs:
Enterprise Agreement
Enterprise Subscription Agreement
Enrollment for Education Solutions (under a Campus and School Agreement)
School Enrollment
Select and Select Plus
You'll be granted the enterprise sideloading rights starting on the 1st of May 2014. Otherwise you'll still be able to sideload but will need to buy a sideloading activation key for 100$ (that's a one-time charge for an unlimited number of devices).
If I recall correctly from the white paper, then a Windows 8 Metro application can only be installed by consumers from the App Store.
However there will be a way provider for developers (as explain by Stave Rowe) and a way for corporations to installed Windows 8 Metro application directly, I expect the corporation method will be by using Active Directory (group policy), but may be limited to some editions of Windows 8.
You can distribute the Windows 8 App package and deploy the same using the Side loading process
