PI50749: WHEN RUNNING THE MOBILEFIRST MFP CLI, THE TERMINAL FONT COLOR AND BACKGROUND ARE NOT PRESERVED.

IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 7.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When running the MobileFirst mfp CLI, the CLI outputs text to
  the terminal using custom colors.  When the CLI exists, it
  resets the font color to a global system default, which may not
  be the font color currently used by the terminal.
  

Local fix

• After running the mfp CLI, manually reset the terminal's font
  and/or background color to their original settings.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * MobileFirst developers who use the mfp CLI in a terminal     *
  * window that is configured with a custom font color.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The mfp CLI can reset the terminal font color to the system  *
  * default, ignoring any existing custom font color             *
  * configuration.                                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• After applying this fix, the mfp CLI will support a new command
  argument, the --no-color option.  When this --no-color option is
  added to any mfp CLI command, all command display output will
  use the existing terminal font color, and when the command
  exits, the existing terminal font color configuration will
  remain unchanged.
