DB2 information center cannot be started in Windows 7 - NUMA error

I downloaded the DB2 Information Center, then I unzipped and started. However, there was a crash at this time, and the application never started. It created a dump file in the directory. The javacore file contains this part:

3XHCPUARCH       Architecture   : x86
3XHNUMCPUS       How Many       : 2
3XHNUMASUP       NUMA is either not supported or has been disabled by user

What does it mean? I searched in Google, and I found something about /usepmtimer in the boot.ini file, however, Windows 7 does n开发者_StackOverflow中文版ot have this file. What can I do in order to use the Information Center locally in Windows 7?

Some steps you can try out:

• Install newest fixpack level
• Make sure you are using 64-bit installer for 64-bit platform, and 32-bit installer for 32-bit platform
• Make sure "java --version" returns something sane
• Add -Xint to the startup parameters of the JVM for the infocenter

Well, this does not solve the problem, but at least it permits to execute the Information Center locally as standalone.

I looked at the ic-wrkstn-start.bat file, and I saw that there is only one line in the line, the rest are comments. This line executes the given Java Runtime Environment, and it seems that the problem is there.

The given JRE is a IBM J9 and I think the problem is there. Only by calling this binary with the option version, the output gives the same error:

Well, as you can see, the error is not the Info Center, but it is the given Java. For this reason, I just took my installed JRE, the Oracle (Sun) one, and it worked.

Instead of execute 'jre\bin\java', I put 'java', and the installed (path) java will be used.
