This document provides a workaround if you are not able to start one of the IBM Industry Models Information Center on a Windows 7 machine.
For security reasons, on some Windows 7 installations, starting an Industry Models Information Center will result in a Command-prompt Window getting displayed, and disappearing shortly thereafter, without having launched the Information Center.
Example with IIW InfoSphere Information Center:
1. Launching the IIW InfoSphere Information Center from the Windows Start menu:
2. DOS Command prompt window being displayed and disappearing shortly thereafter, without having launched the Information Center:
Two workarounds are available to resolve this issue:
1. Move the InfoCenter folder to another location with less restrictions
- 1.1 Copy C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Industry Models\IBM Insurance Information Warehouse\v8.6.0.0\InfoCenter
to
C:\IBM\Industry Models\InfoCenter
1.2 Run the help_start.bat located in the \InfoCenter\BFMDW_m1_InfoCenter or in the \InfoCenter\BFMDW_InfoSphere InfoCenter folder
1.3 Modify your Information Center Start menu shortcuts to reflect the new location
2. Change the permissions of the InfoCenter folder
- 2.1 Right-click on the C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Industry Models\IBM Insurance Information Warehouse\v8.6.0.0\InfoCenter folder and choose Properties
2.2 In the Properties window, select the Security tab and click on the "Edit..." button
2.3 Select the "Users" Group and check the option to Allow "Full control"
2.4 Click "OK" to the Permissions window and to the Properties window
2.5 Try to run one of the Information Center again
