Data warehousing — Extracting the sample database and setup scripts

You must expand the compressed file that contains the sample data.

Procedure

To extract the sample database and the setup scripts:

Expand the contents of compressed file into a working directory. For example, expand the file into the following directory: installation_location/samples/GSDB.

The expanded structure looks like this:

samples/GSDB/readme.txt
samples/GSDB/data/*.ixf
samples/GSDB/win/setupGSDB.bat
samples/GSDB/win/GOSalesConfig.bat
samples/GSDB/win/GS_SCRIPTS/*.bat
samples/GSDB/unix/setupGSDB.sh
samples/GSDB/unix/GOSalesConfig.sh
samples/GSDB/unix/GS_SCRIPTS.*.sh

The script for Windows is in the samples/GSDB/win directory. The script for UNIX operating systems is in the samples/GSDB/unix directory.

What to do next

Next, you can customize the GOSalesConfig.bat or GOSalesConfig.sh configuration file that is used by the setup script.
