Administering MobileFirst applications through the MobileFirst Operations Console

We can administer MobileFirst applications through the MobileFirst Operations Console by locking apps or denying access, or by displaying notification messages.

We can start the console by entering one of the following URLs:

• Secure mode for production or test: https://hostname:secure_port/mfpconsole
• Development: http://server_name:port/mfpconsole

You must have a login and password that grant you authorization to access the MobileFirst Operations Console. For more information, see Configure user authentication for MobileFirst Server administration.

We can use the MobileFirst Operations Console to manage your applications.

From the MobileFirst Operations Console, we can also access the Analytics console and control the collection of mobile data for analysis by the Analytics server. For more information, see Enabling or disabling data collection from the MobileFirst Operations Console.

Note: Deleting an application from MobileFirst Operations Console will remove all push subscriptions on that application as well.

• Mobile-application management
  The MobileFirst mobile-application-management capabilities provide MobileFirst Server operators and administrators with granular control over user and device access to their applications.
• Application status and token licensing
  You must manually restore the correct application status in MobileFirst Operations Console after Blocked status because of insufficient tokens.
• Error log of operations on runtime environments
  Use the error log to access failed management operations initiated from MobileFirst Operations Console or the command line on the selected runtime environment, and to see the effect of the failure on the servers.
• Audit log of administration operations
  In the MobileFirst Operations Console, we can refer to an audit log of administration operations.
