Is it possible to create a Windows 7 standalone desktop application for Worklight Project? I know that Worklight uses Adobe Air for the desktop framework, but is there any other solutions for desktop rather than Air?
Thanks
P.S : I've looked through other framework such as Node-webkit, Appjs, tideSdk but I wasn't sure that those frameworks can be implemented with worklight.
I also have read the related post but it doesn't answer my question.
IBM Worklight - Can we create a desktop based application?
Support for Windows 7 "widgets" has been removed from Worklight starting Worklight 6.1.
The only remaining desktop-supporting environment is Adobe Air.

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 MFP Server version: 7.1.0.00.20160401-2103
I'm trying to accomplish the following:
MyApp runtime (WAR file) is built using MFP 7.1
My WLAPP's, Adapters and device binaries are built using WL 6.2
Where I need to run 6.2 app inside MFP 7.1 container to mimic my production environment as I can't have two stand alone live server in PROD, one for WL 6.2 and the other for MFP7.1.
My concern is the following for iOS (9+):
The iOS app that is live is built with ATS not configured and bit code disabled using xCode (Version 6.3.1).
What is the configuration on MFP 7.1 that needs to be done to allow the connection from my live application.
WAS security level:
My IHS which is in front of my MFP server has the SSLCipherSpec as:
When I compile the xCode project I'm getting :
[https://IP:PORT/MobileBanking/apps/services/api/MobileBanking/iphone/query] Host is not responsive.
How can I make my 6.2 app works on MFP 7.1.?
Is there a missing configuration I need to add/remove?
I can't make any changes on App level as it is already in PROD. Also I can't migrate the 6.2 app yet as we have timeline/outage issues that we can't meet.
Please see this blog post: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/blog/2015/09/07/preparing-ibm-mobilefirst-platform-server-app-transport-security-ios-9/
7.1 can run wlapp files that were built by 6.2, but those apps (assuming your server is not configured with session independence), but those apps will not benefit of any 7.1 features because you did not re-build them with 7.1 Studio...
Additionally you must have the server configured with TLS 1.2 support and the client application must be configured with TLS. So yes, you must re-build the app even with 6.2 Studio and re-submit to the App Store.
Can we implement IWAP reports with developer edition of IBM Worklight 6.0 ? If yes please guide me with technical document or any link. Is this feature only available with Enterprise or Consumer version ?
If yes then how can we implement/test this on development environment. And can anyone please provide me with list of features which are not available with developer version(one which comes into my mind is Application Center).
The Operational Analytics feature introduced in Worklight 6.0 is only available for paid versions of IBM Worklight 6.0. There's a file (analytics.zip) in the resulting IBM Installation Manager output folder that contains everything you need to setup the IBM Websphere Analytics Platform (IWAP). Once you have IWAP installed, you will need to modify a couple of properties inside worklight.properties which, among other things, tell the Worklight Server where to send the analytics data.
Regarding features found only in paid versions, beside Application Center and Operational Analytics, ability to use other DBMS (MySQL, DB2, etc.) and Application Servers (WAS, Tomcat, etc.). There are also Ant scripts that aim to help with common tasks like deployments.

I was going through this IBM Worklight Information Center article to access the Application Center management console, but the URL mentioned is not working. Is there any other proper guideline available to achieve this?
The URL provided seems correct.
What error do you see in the browser window when the loading of this URL fails?
Did you install Worklight using the IBM Installation Mananger?
Assuming that "yes", as this is the only installation path for Application Center
What did you choose as your underlying application server?
Did you start the application server?
IBM Worklight Application Center is not provided with the Developer Edition, installable via the Eclipse Marketplace and IBM Worklight website.
Is it possible to side-load a Windows 8 app (WinRT) onto a Windows RT device like the new Microsoft Surface RT? For example, if I have an internal, line of business application can I give a Microsoft Surface RT to my executives and load up my corporate apps without delivering them through the Windows Store?
Yes. Side-loading is natively supported on:
Windows RT
Windows 8 Pro
Windows 8 Enterprise
And, side-loading is enabled with Visual Studio on:
Windows 8 Core
Enterprises can deploy apps using Microsoft Configuration Manager just like they deploy desktop apps today. Enterprises can also uses Microsoft Intune and its Windows 8 Self-Service Portal (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/04/19/managing-quot-byo-quot-pcs-in-the-enterprise-including-woa.aspx) app to securely deliver apps to devices, too.
Considering this? Here's an interesting article about W8 tablet security: http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Windows-8-Tablets-Secure-enough-Enterprise.html
