Adding Maximo Demo Data

For demo purposes, it’s always good to have a Maximo instance full of data and IBM provides that for you. You just need to import the data after you install Maximo.

Navigate to <maximo_root>\IBM\SMP\maximo\tools\maximo\en
Figure out what database you are using Oracle
Extract the maxdemo.databasetype.zip. I have an SQL server so I will extract the maxdemo.sqs zip file
Open command prompt and run as administrator
Navigate to <maximo_root>\IBM\SMP\maximo\tools\maximo
Run the following command,
1. maxinst -s[index tablespace] -t[data tablespace]
2. For SQL Server it’s:
  1. maxinst -sPRIMARY -tPRIMARY

One thought on “Adding Maximo Demo Data”

I wish IBM provided a Docker image, or a Linux instance with WebSphere, DB2, and MAXDEMO data pre-installed. I often get a better response from IBM if I show them how to replicate using an out of the box using MAXDEMO data than our custom instance.
