Siliently upgrade worklight 5.0.6.1 - ibm-mobilefirst

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.

Weblogic Adapter in Eclipse Neon missing

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.

IBM MobileFirst Platform iFix doesn't update the version displayed in Operations Console

I've just updated my IBM MobileFirst Platform Server from 8.0.0.00-20160822-2140 with the latest iFix 8.0.0.0-MFPF-Server-IF201702201900
However, after a successful update, the server is still showing the same old version in the IBM MobileFirst Platform Operations Console.
Does it means it's still not updated with the latest iFix?
I've double confirmed that the fix is indeed installed:
Do I need to update those superseded iFix first before upgrading to the latest iFix?
Vivin above is correct. Installation Manager merely puts the files on disk. You must now update your database by running the Server Configuration Tool, or whatever method you used when your server was first configured. Since the version number is stored in the database, the old version number will appear in the Operations Console until the database update is performed.
Able to get it to work after running cd /opt/IBM/MobileFirst_Platform_Server/shortcuts
sudo ./configuration-tool.sh again and restart the server. Didn't know there's a need to do so after updating the iFix. Is this common?

install MobileFirst 7.0 server (for test and production environment) with IBM Installation Manager

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.

IBM MobileFirst Operations Console does not work with HTTPS

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.

Installing jazz 4.0.2 plugin with IBM Worklight 6 (juno eclipse) causes functional degradation in worklight

I've installed worklight 6 into an existing juno 64 bit eclipse running in windows 7. Runs great. I then install the jazz RTC 4.0.2 plug in into that eclipse environment. After the plugin is installed, there is a noticeable loss of function. The following are examples:
On the create new Hybrid app page, the option for changing the dojo library used is gone. The dialog resembles the WL5 version.
after a dojo hybrid is created, the www folder is missing from the WL project
Some dojo widgets do not work (i.e., not presented on the mobile device emulator or in resulting adroid application) like dojo.mobile.Heading
The only way to resolve is to uninstall the RTC plugin. Any suggestion on how to make this work? Using WL5.0.6.1 and same Jazz RTC plugin has no problems. We want to move to newer WL and upgrading RTC is not an easy option.
Are you using Eclipse Java EE 4.2.2? That's the only supported version for Worklight Studio (i.e. make sure you are not using 4.2.1 or 4.2 alone).
Other things I would try:
1) Use RTC 4.0.3 plug-in instead 4.0.2, that could make some difference and usually these clients have backwards compatibility with the server.
2) Install RTC before Worklight Studio, and see if it makes any difference.
