I am running into a strange behaviour with WL 6.2. The WL Console is not listing any of the installed apps/wars (runtimes) in AIX environment. I have setup Worklight 6.2 on two different platforms:
Platform: Linux (Ubuntu)
WebSphere ND 8.5.5.1
DB2 V9.7
Platform: AIX
WebSphere ND 8.5.5.1
Oracle 11g
Both platforms have WAS Global Security enabled with simple file based registry (using Federated Repository). Both were configured using the following steps in the same way. In Ubuntu, I can see the installed runtime (WorklightStarter WAR). But in AIX, I see the horrid message in WL console: "Server error. Contact the server administrator"
I used WorklightStarter App to test my Ubuntu and AIX installations. In specific, I used the WorklightStarter app with no JS frameworks. Imported it into WL 6.2 Studio to build the WAR file for deployment.
Then I followed the simplified installation/configuration steps:
created databases manually, a) wladmin b) wrklght c) wlreports. I followed instructions listed under "Create DB2 Databases Manually" and "Create Oracle Databases Manually" sections of instructions above to configure the databases on both Ubuntu(Linux) and AIX environments:
configured was global security such that admin console access is secure. File based registry with federated repository was used.
Installed the WL 6.2 server binaries from command line (using Installation Manager 1.6.x installc command).
./installc -acceptLicense -log /tmp/im_install.loglogged in WAS Admin Console and created a "WorklightCluster" cluster.
used ANT task to deploy a) worklight console + admin service b) WorklightStarter WAR to the WAS cluster created in step 4.
following command were successful:
/opt/ibm/worklight/62/shortcuts/ant -f /opt/ibm/worklight/62/WorklightServer/configuration-samples/configure-wasnd-cluster-oracle_custom.xml databases/opt/ibm/worklight/62/shortcuts/ant -f /opt/ibm/worklight/62/WorklightServer/configuration-samples/configure-wasnd-cluster-oracle_custom.xml admdatabases/opt/ibm/worklight/62/shortcuts/ant -f /opt/ibm/worklight/62/WorklightServer/configuration-samples/configure-wasnd-cluster-oracle_custom.xml adminstall/opt/ibm/worklight/62/shortcuts/ant -f /opt/ibm/worklight//62/WorklightServer/configuration-samples/configure-wasnd-cluster-oracle_custom.xml install
In AIX, so far everything worked after installation. I was able to start the WARs (worklight console , admin service, and worklight starter) in the WAS cluster. No startup errors were reported in SystemOut.log. Logging into AIX console eventually shows "Server error. Contact the server administrator". So I looked at Chrome console log and it was showing a 500 internal server error when WL console invokes the REST URIs:
/worklightconsole/services/management-apis/1.0/loginAudit?_=1408335538793
/worklightconsole/services/management-apis/1.0/runtimes/?_=1408335559099
So in order to debug this further in AIX, I went ahead and turned on some traces in WAS ND for worklight server. Since I didn't know which trace specification to turn on to get Worklight WAR's to spit out more message, I had to turn most WebSphere traces on blindly:
*=info: com.ibm.ws.*=all: com.ibm.worklight.*=all: com.ibm.websphere.*=all
This eventually showed that some component in Worklight (or perhaps WAS) is failing. I can't figure which component it is or why it's happening.

Any help in further debugging this issue will be much appreciated.
