Maxinst Flow

Maxinst is used to install a new database. The flowchart below shows the logic flow involved in the Maxinst process.
  1. At IBM Corp., run Unlcvt against a Maximo or Maxdemo database. This creates a sql script for creating the Maximo tables and loading essential system data. For a Maxdemo database, it will also load some non-system data (Item, Equipment, etc.).
  2. At the customer site, perform the DBA tasks needed to create a skeletal database with user logon, schema / tablespace / partition, etc.
  3. At the customer site, run the Maxinst program. The two files listed above are input to this program. Also, this takes parameters for the table schema and index schema. The program will perform the following:
    1. Process the sql script output from Unlcvt. (Note, there are separate versions of this script for Maximo and Maxdemo databases.)
    2. Update the Maximo system data with the selected schema names and logon user name.
