This section contains the instructions to initialize and populate the Windchill database with base and/or demonstration data. The base data for all of the installed Windchill products must be loaded before you can use Windchill.

Follow the instructions in this section if you opted not to install the base data with the PTC Solution Installer.

To load base and demonstration data you need to start your HTTP Server and your Windchill Method Server. For more information see Starting the HTTP Server and the Windchill Method Servers.

For information on loading legacy data, including converting data files from CSV to XML format, refer to the Windchill Data Loading Reference and Best Practices Guide.

For more information on database prerequisites refer to Database Installation.
