I'm trying to install IBM Mobilefirst 7.0 server on production Ubuntu server in Amazon. The server has no GUI. I installed Websphere Application Server and IBM Mobilefirst server using silent installation of IBM Installation Manager and response file created on server with GUI. But now I'm stuck at a point where I have to configure MobileFirst server using server configuration tool. But I'm not able to find out how to do this without GUI since server configuration tool is GUI based. Any pointers or help would be highly appreciated!
You can use ant tasks to proceed with the configuration without the GUI.
Detailed steps for this can be found in the link below.

What I was asking for is way to implement MobileFirst Server administration without using GUI as given in step number 6 in this link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/#!/SSHSCD_6.3.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/install_config/t_ov_server_install.html. Since the server I was working on does not have a GUI, I was stuck at step 6. But I found the way out now and for someone who is looking for this, the way to do is using ant scripts. Steps are listed at this link : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/#!/SSHS8R_7.0.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/devref/t_ant_tasks_configure_dbs_wlconsole.html

Please help me in configuring two IBM MObilefirst Platform 7.1 ap server to one IBM HTTP Web server. As per the IBM Documents I should follow Server Farm configurations.
Need guidance in doing the same.
Scenario 1
Resources: Two App Servers with IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 installed and plugin-cfg geneated using jConsole. Each app server is having separate DB for each. One web server with IBM HTTP installed.
Scenario 2Resources: Two App Servers with IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 installed and plugin-cfg geneated using jConsole. Both the app server is having common DB. One web server with IBM HTTP installed.
I need both the app servers to be up at the same time in the above given scenarios. Please let me know in scenario one should I install any separate plugin for setting up server farm configuration.
note:In Scenario 2 currently only one App server can be made up at a time
Use JConsole to generate the plugin-cfg.xml from your individual Liberty servers. You can either merge the plugin-cfg.xml files manually or use Job Manager to generate a merged plugin from both the Liberty servers.
More details here:
Setting up HTTP Server in a WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile farm
Manually merge the files by using a text editor.
Use the job manager to submit a Generate merged plugin configuration for Liberty servers job.

Server Configuration Tool needs Database Settings(host,port,username,password,dbname) and AppServer Settings(installation directory,username,password) information. The tool also need to access database directly.
The MFPF docs doesn't provide such kind of information. Is there anyway to user server configuration tool for MFPF on ibm container?
It is not possible to use the Server configuration tool for IBM Containers deployment. The only current way is to use the scripts as provided and instructed, here: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/bluemix/run-foundation-on-bluemix/
I installed IBM mobilefirst server on Liberty Profile in z/Linux(SUSE). I find the Server Configuration Tool can not be started, but it can be start in Windows7.
I want to know that Server Configuration Tool can not be started only in z/Linux or all platform(x86,AMD).
Server config tool is not available for z/Linux and AIX platforms.
For these platforms the MFP configuration can be done using Ant task scripts instead.

I am trying to install and configure Worklight application center on liberty profile.
I have installed the worklight 6.2 using the installation manager. Along the installation process i have installed the appcenter as well.
The installation was successful. But when i try to access the console it giving me "Context root not found".
Also I have checked the server.xml of the liberty server. It contains the appcenterconsole.war and the applicationcenter.war mapped.
Does anyone experience this problem as well?
This might be the same problem as mentioned here: Worklight Development Server does not start
Please make sure you use Oracle Java, not IBM Java!
Hello Folks,
We are recently working on IBM worklight and what we want to try is:
We have two machine, one we want to set as server and other one is for my developer to build the app.
Currently we have installed Apache Tomcat server on the machine which we want to make as server. We even have IBM Worklight installed on it. Now What I want to achieve is to deploy the app from other machine to this server. But I am not able to set up the things properly.
Things done so far:
Installed Apache Tomcat server software on a machine (server)
Installed IBM Installation Manager
I am not getting how will I set up the Worklight Server on this machine. Can anyone provide some information?
You cannot directly deploy from Worklight Studio (the Eclipse plug-in) to a remote Worklight Server.
The steps you need to take are:
Setup your application for a remote server, via the Build Settings and Deploy Target window
Build the app
Take the .wlapp/.adapter file and deploy it to the remote Worklight Server via it's Worklight Console
If you have done any server-related changes (authenticationConfig.xml, Java code, ...) you will need to first deploy the project's .war file to the application server that hosts the remote Worklight Server, and then the .wlapp.
