Does worklight iFix require any upgrade on worklight server - ibm-mobilefirst

Recently to support iOS 8, IBM Worklight team has released iFix, What i understand is this iFix is applicable at Xcode level, Is it required to upgrade something on the Worklight server level to make it comaptible after the Apps are released. Please suggest.

Thanks

iOS 8 related fixes are all in the client-side, meaning Worklight Studio-only (not Xcode... you use Xcode only after re-building the Worklight project in Eclipse). There are no Worklight Server-related fixes for iOS 8 support.
The only server-related fixes are if you are using Application Center, which will require updating the server component as well (because it serves Dojo-based pages), in addition to the client application (which uses Dojo as well). Dojo support for iOS 8 was added in this iFix.

MobileFirst Eclipse not detecting changes

I have recently updated my eclipse mobilefirst studio to 6.3.0.00-20150106-1717
There after when I make any changes in HTML/Css/Js the changes are not reflected in the worklight we based simulator. Inorder to get the changes on the weh based simulator, i have to use run as -> run on mobilefirst development server.
In the previous version before this update what all changes in HTML/CSS/js was immediately reflected in the web based worklight simulator
Please advice
Update: the fix is now available from either IBM Fix Central or by updating from Eclipse Marketplace.

This is a known regression. A fix will be available, soon.
Check back for updates in either IBM Fix Central, or via Eclipse > Help > Check for updates in the near future.
There is no local workaround.

Downgrade Worklight 6 from Eclipse

My eclipse recently updated to Worklight 6 and screwed all my projects .. Is there a way to downgrade to Worklight 5 ? Does anyone have a Worklight 5 installation zip ?
For the free Developer Edition, no, only the latest version is available. (source)
You will find information about buying IBM Worklight here.
I think it's worthwhile spending a bit of time making your project(s) Worklight 6.0 compatible. There are a lot of new features (JSONStore runs on the browser, better client-side logger, analytics, geolocation, etc) and overall improvements and fixes. I recommend you open another question and provide details about your environment, relevant pieces of code and log messages, what your goal is and what you have tried so far.

Cannot use Direct Update for Windows 8 in Worklight 5.0.6

I use Worklight 5.0.6 and can't use direct update for a Windows 8 application.
IBM Worklight Information Center tells that windows 8 app can use direct update.
My way to test direct update as follows.
Please tell me how to use direct update in Windows8.
make windows8 env project
change wlInitOptions.connectOnStartup value "true" (in common\js\initOptions.js )
select [Build All and Deploy]
double click .jsproj file run simulator in visual studio 2012 for Windows8
make app "back ground"
change html file and "re [Build All and Deploy]"
make app "foreground"
This documentation page is misleading (I will open a defect to correct it).
Direct Update (as in the process of updating the web resources of the application after it has already been installed on the device) is available ONLY for iOS and Android. In those environments following your steps will indeed trigger a Direct Update.
The update (or rather, upgrade) of Desktop applications has no relation what-so-ever to the Direct Update mechanism mentioned above.
For Desktop enviornments consider it like updating any other desktop application - where you up the version number, and the app detects that there is an update available or so.
In the case of Adobe Air and Windows 7/Vista Gadgets:
Build your application and install it
In application-descriptor.xml, up the value of the version attribute in the envrionment's element (for instance from "1.0" to "1.1")
Build again
I believe that now you need to go to the Worklight Console and re-download the installer, and it will detect that it needs to upgrade rather than install afresh).
Note: iGoogle, Facebook, Windows 7/Vista Gadgets and Dashboard environments will be removed in the next version of Worklight. All have ample replacements with other supported Worklight environments.
In the case of Windows 8:
Direct Update most certainly does not exist for it
The steps above are also not relevant as it is not a downloadable executable

worklight 5.0.6 - Error when deploying apps to local server

I have just upgrade my Eclipse client running Juno to Worklight 5.0.6 developer edition (5.0.6.20130311-0918)
The projects upgrade fine, but when building them and deploying to the local worklight server I get a constant 'persistency data access problem' This occurs across all of my projects and has only been seen since the update.
Any idea on what is causing this problem and how to solve?
I would add a screen shot of the issue but I am not allowed
Based on your comment - in 5.0.6, the database schema has changed, so you have missing tables now. In the Developer Edition of Worklight, upgrade is not supported (this is handled when purchasing a license and using the IBM Installation Mananger for installing Worklight).
Do you mean "HSQL"? What is "Web SQL?"
In any case you will need to clean your database so that it will be re-created, this time with the missing tables.
If you use the default database provided by Worklight (HSQL), go to your Eclipse Workspace and delete the WorklightServerHome folder. Then, re-build your application.
