Extracting PTC FlexPLM to the System
This procedure installs the complete out‑of‑the‑box PTC FlexPLM file structure on the server (codebase, support folders, and file structures).
Before starting an installation, unpack the PTC FlexPLM software to a temporary location on your system and then copy it into your <Windchill> folder using the following steps:
1. Open the FlexPLM ZIP file with WinZip or the Zip Compression tool for UNIX installed on your system.
2. Extract all of the files to <Windchill>. Do not extract the files to the codebase folder, because you might overwrite folders with the same structure. Extract to a temporary folder such as c:\temp\flexplm123\.
The file structure might look like the following examples:
• c:\temp\flexplm123\codebase
• c:\temp\flexplm123\codebase\rfa
Copy each of the actual folders within the temp directory into <Windchill> home.
