We just had installed the latest iFix (7.0.0.0-MFPF-Server-IF201611140235) in our app server. Upon checking the version in the MFP Console, it still in the previous version. I've checked the directory /opt/IBM/MobileFirst_Platform_Server/WorklightServer, and found that the .war files not been updated. I've check the installation history and it shows that I successfully installed/updated it. I also noticed that the file worklight-jee-library.jar still in the previous version.

How should I refresh the files? Looks like the installation is not updating the .war files and libraries.

Thanks, Jonathan

In addition to the above, do we need to uninstall the first installation before installing the interim fix? – JMontclaire
By installing iFix, did you only install it using Installation manager? If so , that is not sufficient. You need to use server configuration tool or ANT scripts to update the runtime as well. public.dhe.ibm.com/software/products/en/MobileFirstPlatform/… – Vivin K
Hi, yes, I only install using Installation Manager in Linux. The problem is, when I checked the WAR and JAR files of the interim fix in product_install_dir/ WorklightServer folder after installation, it still contains the old files. My method is manually apply the fix pack as per page 17 in the manual you provided on this link public.dhe.ibm.com/software/products/en/MobileFirstPlatform/…. What else should I check? Thanks – JMontclaire
Did Installation manager throw an error while updating? One other approach you could try ( just to check), is to install the fixpack to a new location and not update the existing one. Check if this new directory contains updates war and jar files – Vivin K
There is no error thrown during/after installation, it says, successfully updated MobileFirst Server. We will try to install in another server and see if it will contain the new war and jar files. Thanks – JMontclaire

From the comments:

What we did is to manually copy the WAR and JAR files to Tomcat folders (/webapps and/ lib). It is now showing the correct version in the console. We recompile the app using this iFix version (IF201611140235), and deploy the new app WAR file to the server.
