Complete the installation

When installation is complete, we must restart the web application server in certain cases.

We must restart the web application server in the following circumstances:

• When we are using WebSphere Application Server with DB2 as database type.

• When we are using WebSphere Application Server and have opened it without the application security enabled before installinged IBM MobileFirst Platform Application Center or MobileFirst Server.

  The MobileFirst installer must activate the application security of WebSphere Application Server (if not active yet) to install Application Center. Then, for this activation to take place, restart the application server after the installation of MobileFirst Server completed.

• When we are using WAS Liberty or Apache Tomcat.

• After you upgraded from a previous version of MobileFirst Server.

If we are using WAS ND and chose an installation through the deployment manager:

• We must restart the servers that were running during the installation and on which the MobileFirst Server web applications are installed.

  To restart these servers with the deployment manager console, select Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > IBM_Application_Center_Services > Target specific application status.

• We do not have to restart the deployment manager or the node agents.

Only the Application Center is installed in the application server. A operations console is not installed by default. To install a operations console, we need to follow the steps in Deploy MobileFirst projects.
