While I'm following the IBM Knowledge Center' guide to install a IBM MobileFirst 7.0 Server for production environment but that document is too simple for any newbees to handle it.
Can someone provide a more detailed guide and a MF 7.0 server download link so that I can use it as the local repository. Thanks in advance.
Only IBM Customers and Business Partners can download the server components.
These components can be download from either the IBM Passport Advantage website or the IBM Fix Central website.
Download IBM Installation Manager
Download the GM version of the release you'd like to install
Download the latest iFix version of the release you'd like to install
Download the latest supported version of WebSphere Full profile or WebSphere Liberty profile or Tomcat for the release you'd like to install
Use the IBM Installation Manager to install the above components (4, 2 and 3 in that order)
In the IBM Installation Manager go to File > Repositories and add them (consult the documentation how)
Start with installing WebSphere
Use again the IBM Installation Manager to install ontop of the previously installed application server (Tomcat, WebSphere or Liberty) the MobileFirst Server components; you will be going through a wizard
This step is not containable here as it varies and depends a lot on what you intend to use. Review the documentation.

I have installed Weblogic 12.2.1 using the following tutorial successfully on my Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6
I am now trying to configure weblogic in my Eclipse Neon. I am not able to see any server adapters that others see in different tutorials.
After some reading online I installed OEP 12.2.1.6 software and restarted eclipse but it of no help
LIST OF SERVERS ADAPTERS I SEE IN TUTORIALS
LIST I AM SEEING AFTER INSTALLING OEPE
I need those adapters to add weblogic to my eclipse.
I had the same question some days ago after checking some online tutorials.
In the later versions of OEPE, you only see a "unified" oracle weblogic server adapter.
Once you have selected this option, you will be able to choose the desired server runtime environment from a list of the runtimes configured on your machine (separate download).
If you see none, then you will have to configure some before trying to add a weblogic server.
I am planning to install IBM MobileFirst on AWS Linux (RedHat) instance and move our existing app to it.
I have installed IBM MobileFirst via Eclipse and developed app on windows environment and have no idea on Linux.
I need some guidelines to achieve this.
There are no available up-to-date instructions for deploying MobileFirst Server to Amazon EC2, other than the following which are for Worklight 5: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/worklight/entry/how_to_install_worklight_server_on_amazon_ec21?lang=en
The general idea is the same, though.
We are unable to use MobileFirst 6.3 Operations Console with HTTPS. I reviewed a couple of links here and installed the last fix pack available for the server side (6.3.0.0-MFPF-Server-IF201504041503.zip).
We are having the same behavior explained in this link:
Unable to use HTTPS for MobileFirst Console 6.3
Need I install another fix or redeploy worklightconsole.war ?
Thanks in advance
You have not installed the last MFP 6.3 ifix as you can see in the messages.log file of your last zipped logs :
[4/15/15 12:00:34:754 ART] 00000012 ht.admin.listeners.WorklightManagementServletContextListener I FWLSE3199I: ========= MobileFirst Administration Services version 6.3.0.00-20141127-1357 started.
When you install a fix you have to do a minimal update of the console applications and the runtime applications with the Server config tools or the installation ant tasks. Otherwise no war files are updated.
I have installed the MobileFirst Platform CLI developer edition from https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/install/#clui
I am trying to investigate the analytics of the application, but this doesn't seem to be properly installed from here.
I am able to create a MFP server, start it and access the console. It doesn't have a link to the analytics in the top-right of the console as it does in the developer edition provided by Eclipse. Is this behaviour as expected or is there something missing?
I have tried installing this package twice. I am running on OSX 10.10
In the Liberty servers directory, /Users//.ibm/mobilefirst/6.3.0/server/wlp/usr/servers, I can see the Worklight folder. It has an _analytics.war file in it (which is different from my Eclipse install which has a worklight-analytics.war and worklight-analytics-service.war)
And in the messages.log file, I am getting messages saying that the web application _analytics is available.
But I then a number of messages with
com.worklight.analytics.api.AnalyticsHttpService.sendDataToURL target server response code: 404
Going directly to http://localhost:10080/_analytics responds with an "Authorization failed" message.
Update - Got it working
I uninstalled the dev edition CLI and downloaded the CLI from Passport Advantage and installed it from there. The analytics feature now seems to work. Although the link to it is still not available in the top right of the console.
I don't know if it's a different install package, or an issue on my Mac that I inadvertently resolved, but the analytics feature is now working
The issue here was that the version you originally downloaded was not up-to-date.
This will be corrected soon.
Proper mechanisms will be put in place so that this will not happen again.
Yesterday I downloaded and installed the publically available MobileFirst Platform 6.3 CLI from https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/install/#clui. I created a simple app which connects to the MFP server.
Result: Analytics works without any problem.
So you do not have to buy the product just to use the CLI with analytics.
I installed worklight 5.0.6 on a Linux system using silient mode. Now, I want to upgrade worklight server to 5.0.6.1 using silient mode as well.
Does Worklight allow silient upgrade ? If yes, is there any guidance for this ?
Yes, IBM Worklight Server 5.0.5 or newer supports silent upgrade, just like silent install.
The procedure is the same as documented in the IBM Worklight manual:
Do the same operation (in this case, an upgrade 5.0.6 -> 5.0.6.1) on a machine that has a usable GUI, using the Installation Manager wizard, and using the option '-record responseFile'.
Modify the settings in the response file so that it matches the target machine.
Execute the response file on the target machine, using the imcl command.
