Completing the installation

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

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

When you are using WebSphere® Application Server with DB2® as database type.
When you are using WebSphere Application Server and have opened it without the application security enabled before you installed 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 you are using WebSphere Application Server Liberty or Apache Tomcat.
After you upgraded from a previous version of MobileFirst Server.

If you are using WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment and chose an installation through the deployment manager:

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

Note: Only the Application Center is installed in the application server. A MobileFirst Operations Console is not installed by default. To install a MobileFirst Operations Console, you need to follow the steps in Deploying MobileFirst Server to the cloud.
