The Windchill Loader can load data for any of the installed Windchill solutions. The utility obtains a list of the installed solutions from the installed.properties file, which is updated when a solution is installed, and the loadsets for the base and demonstration data from the LoaderConfiguration.properties file. The loadsets are XML files that list the data files that must be loaded to support a Windchill solution.

Each solution has its own set of base and demonstration data. There is also a base data set, also called a foundation, that applies to all of the solutions. The foundation base data is automatically installed along with the solution-specific base data.

In addition to initializing the database, the load utility will also add users and groups to the LDAP directory services as specified in the wt.federation.ie.ldapServer property setting in the wt.properties file.

For more information about the Windchill Loader and for instructions on initializing and populating the Windchill database with test data, see the Windchill Installation and Configuration Guide.
