How to create Maximo demo database (MAXDEMO)

The Maximo contains an extremely useful command to create a demo database filled with a sample data. This can be really helpful when learning haw Maximo works.

Tho create the demo database perform these steps.

• Stop the application server (MXServer)
• Open a command prompt
• Move to:[SMP_DIR]\maximo\tools\maximo
• Issue the following command:
  maxinst -s[INDEXTABLESPACE] -t[DATATABLESPACE]

By default both tablespaces are equals to MAXDATA so the following command should work.

maxinst -sMAXDATA -tMAXDATA

To create an empty databasse add the -imaximo parameter.

maxinst -imaximo -sMAXDATA -tMAXDATA
