PI49818: INSTALLMANAGER UNINSTALLS APPLICATION CENTER IN AN IFIX AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE IFIX INSTALLATION.

IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 7.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If Application Center has been installed for MFP 7.1 with
  Install Manager, Install Manager fails to complete the install
  of an IFIX. When it fails, Application Center is removed from
  the application server.
  

Local fix

• With Install Manager, install MFP in a new package group and
  a new directory, without selecting Application Center.
  Install Application Center with ant tasks.
  Update the MobileFirst server from that new installation. If you
  use ant tasks, update the property worklight.server.install.dir
  to point to the new installation.
