Installation and Configuration
Overview
Persistent Mobile Foundation provides development tools and server-side components that you can install on-premises .Review the installation topics appropriate for your installation scenario.
Setting up a development environment
If you develop the client-side or the server-side of mobile applications, use Persistent Mobile Foundation Developer Kit.
Using the Persistent Mobile Foundation Developer Kit
The Persistent Mobile Foundation Developer Kit includes everything required to run and debug mobile applications on a personal workstation. To develop an application using the Persistent Mobile Foundation Developer Kit, follow the Setting up Persistent Mobile Foundation development environment tutorial.
Setting up the development environment for Persistent Mobile Foundation Developer Kit applications
PMF provides vast flexibility regarding the platforms and tools that can be used to develop PMF applications. However, some basic setup is required to enable the chosen tools to interact with PMF.
Select from the following links to set up the development environment corresponding to the development approach that the application will use:
- Set-up the Cordova development environment
- Set-up the iOS development environment
- Set-up the Android development environment
- Set-up the Web development environment
Setting up a test or production server on-premises
Tools and libraries are also installed that are required to deploy the PMF Server components to the application server. As a best practice do not install all of the components on the same application server instance, except in the case of a development server. The deployment tools allow for selection of the components to install. Please see the Topologies and Network flows for points to consider before installing the server.
Please read below for information on preparing and installing PMF and optional services on your specific environment. For a simple set up, please read Setting up a test or production environment tutorial.
- Verifying prerequisites
- Configuring backend databases for PMF Server components
- Installing PMF Server to an application server
- Configuring PMF Server
- Installing PMF Analytics Server
- Installing PMF Receiver Server
- Installing PMF Application Center
Setting up a test or production environment
Learn about the PMF installation process by going through the instructions to create a functional PMF cluster with two nodes on WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile. The installation can be completed by using Ant Tasks
After completing the installation using the above method, further configuration may be required to complete the setup depending on the requirements.
Setting up optional features on your test or production environment
PMF includes optional components that may be used to augment your test or production environment. Please see the following tutorials for more information:
- Installing and Configuring the PMF Analytics Server
- Installing and Configuring the PMF Analytics Receiver Server
- Installing and Configuring the PMF Application Center
