Error description

• Problem Description:
  
  When using the Data Model Import or Export wizard in Rational Da
  ta Architect v 7.5 you are unable to produce the transformed mod
  el due to the error 'Cannot start the Java Virtual Machine. Chec
  k your CLASSPATH'.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  When using one of the following wizards:
  
  File ? Export ? Data Model Export Wizard
  File ? Import ? Data Model Import Wizard
  
  in Rational Data Architect v. 7.5, you may see the error:
  
  ?ERROR? [JBDG_F0003] Cannot start the Java Virtual Machine. Chec
  k your CLASSPATH
  
  Cause:
  
  This error is typically due to the content of the configuration
  file of the MetaIntegrations bridge that does not match the new
  installation directory of version 7.5.
  
  Expected Results:
  
  During installation the file MIRSetup.xml is updated with the ac
  tual installation directory.
  
  Workaround:
  
  Using a Text editor, open the file:
  
  MIRSetup.xml
  
  which is typically located in:
  
  ?SDPShared?\plugins\com.ibm.datatools.metadata.wizards.miti.win3
  2_?version?\MetaIntegration\conf
  
  where:
  
  ?SDPShared?=C:\Program Files\IBM\SDPShared
  
  is the Installation Manager shared directory and:
  
  ?version?=1.0.0.v200809130500
  
  is the version of the bridge used by Rational Data Architect  7.
