To merge ble_app_uart peripheral into ble_app_uart central to make it as both central and peripheral!!!!!

I am trying to merge ble_app_uart peripheral example to ble_app_uart central to make it as to work both central and peripheral at a time.

I am using nrf52 boards and SDK15.

I combined them both, the code is error free but it is not printing anything on teraterm and it is neither scanning nor advertising.
