BA and TDP for Windows and REBOOT
The 7.1.1 client has been improved so that it won't reboot without warning and cause havoc amongst our customers. Good. But it still needs a reboot because of some components for the GUI. This means that something that should take 5 minutes now can take a very long time: Bureaucratic change process. Obtain downtime days or weeks down the road. Pay a technician overtime to do this trivial task at night hours. IBM should redesign the clients so that it is not dependant on extra software that requires a reboot. This problem was not present with 6.3 and earlier and the GUI for 7 isn't THAT spectacular so this should be possible. RFE is submitted here. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=59755 Regards, Hans Chr.

The RFE was rejected. I guess rebooting servers is no problem if the only servers you are dealing with resides in a lab. Hans Chr.

Re: BA and TDP for Windows and REBOOT
Yes, luckily Windows servers have to be booted quite often anyway. Sill it is up to a 30 day wait and overtime compared to 5 minutes there and then to install the BA client. As I understand IBM has put this huge burden on us for one reason only: A minor improvement in the aesthetics of the GUI. Hans Chr.
