MobileFirst Server live update service configuration details

The live update service is packaged as a WAR application for you to deploy to the application server. You need to make some specific configurations for this application.

Before you proceed, review Manual installation on WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for the configuration details that are common to all services.

The live update service WAR file is in mfp_install_dir/MobileFirstServer/mfp-live-update.war.

The context root of the live update service must define in this way: /<adminContextRoot>config. For example, if the context root of the administration service is /mfpadmin, then the context root of the live update service must be /mfpadminconfig.

Data source

Create a data source for the live update service and map it to jdbc/ConfigDS.

Security roles

The configadmin role is defined for this application.

At least one user must be mapped to this role. The user and its password must be provided to the following JNDI properties of the administration service:
  • mfp.config.service.user
  • mfp.config.service.password
