For information on installing Windchill PartsLink, see the following topic:
Steps you must take when updating or upgrading Windchill with Windchill PartsLink.
Loading a Demo Classification Structure
On a fresh server, you can load the demo classification as it is, as a starting point, or you can update the demo classification and use it to create your own classification structure.
The demo classification is provided only as a sample classification and is not loaded automatically as part of the Windchill PartsLink installation. To load the demo classification, complete the following steps:
1. Open the following load file in a text editor:
<Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_nodes.xml
2. Update the file path in the <csvcontentRoot> element to point to the directory where your Windchill solution is installed.
For example, if your Windchill solution is installed on the J drive in a directory named “Windchill”:
<csvContentRoot handler="com.ptc.core.lwc.server.TypeDefinitionLoader.getContentRoot">
<csvcontentRoot>J:/Windchill/loadFiles/partslink/demoClf/attachments/</csvcontentRoot>
<!--TODO: Update above csvContentRoot path before actual load-->
</csvContentRoot>
3. Load the following files in the order specified:
<Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_QOM.xml
<Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_attributes.xml
<Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_nodes.xml
For example:
windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d <Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_QOM.xml -u <username> -p <password>
windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d <Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_attributes.xml -u <username> -p <password>
windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d <Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_nodes.xml -u <username> -p <password>
