General Procedure for Running the Assistant
Use the following steps to set up the required Windchill environment and run the Windchill Configuration Assistant.
1. Start a windchill shell for the Windchill system that you are configuring. Working within the windchill shell sets up your environment correctly.
For example, on a Windows system where Windchill program shortcuts have been created, navigate to > and select Windchill Shell from the Windchill menu.
Otherwise, from a command prompt, navigate to the <Windchill>/bin directory and enter:
windchill shell
2. Navigate to the directory containing WindchillConfigAssistant.xml.
This file is located in the <Windchill>/utilities/wca directory.
3. Enter an ant command to execute the required target defined in
WindchillConfigAssistant.xml file, as described in the next section,
Ant Command Syntax for Running the Assistant, and respond to any prompts that display.
All activity is reported in the command window and a record of the activity is stored in the log file that is generated. When the assistant successfully completes its activities, it displays messages similar to the following:
