Installing the showcase model

The single-server version of IBM® Business Monitor comes with a mortgage lending sample model that illustrates some of the functionality of IBM Business Monitor. If you created a stand-alone profile, you can install the Better Lender showcase model using the First Steps console.

You can use one of the following two methods.

• (Not for z/OS:) Install the showcase model using First Steps.
  1. Access First Steps from your stand-alone profile using one of the following options:
     • From the Profile Creation Complete panel, select the Launch the IBM Business Monitor first steps option.
     • Go to Start > All Programs > IBM > Business Monitor 7.5 > Profiles > profile_name > First Steps.
     • Go to profile_root\firststeps.wbm and run the firststeps.bat command.
       Important: To install or run First Steps on Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, you must elevate your Microsoft Windows user account privileges by right-clicking firststeps.bat and selecting Run as administrator. This is required for both administrative and nonadministrative users.
     • Open a command window. Go to profile_root/firststeps.wbm and run the firststeps.sh command.
  2. From the First Steps console, select Showcase model.
     Note: If you have security enabled, you are prompted for the WebSphere® Application Server user ID and password.
