Depending on the Elastic Path release package, some or all of the following demo data sets may be included in the extensions\database\ext-data\src\main\resources\data folder:

  • demo-geometrixx-data - Configured as the default data for AEM projects.
  • demo-mobee-data - Configured as the default data for Cortex projects.
  • demo-snapitup-data - Configured as the default data for Commerce Engine projects.
Tip: Loading Demo Data

If you wish to load additional demo data in your local development environment, update extensions\database\ext-data\src\main\resources\environments\local\data-population.properties. Append mobee-data and/or snapitup-data to the liquibase.contexts property

Populate the Database

To create a new database schema and populate the database with demo data:

  1. With the command line, navigate to the extensions\database directory.
  2. Run the following command to run the Data Population tool: 
    mvn clean install -Preset-db
Tip: Update Database without Dropping and Recreating Schema
To update an existing database without dropping and recreating the schema is, run 
mvn clean install -Pupdate-db
For more information, see Data Population - Patterns and Data Population - Extensions Data.
Tip: Troubleshooting

Database settings are defined in your .m2\settings.xml. If there are errors connecting to the database or creating a new schema, you may need to update these settings to match your local database settings.
