The WebFOCUS social media demo files are located in the following folder of your WebFOCUS installation:

To import the WebFOCUS social media demo content into your WebFOCUS environment:

  1. Unzip the Walmart_Social_Media_app.zipx file to your WebFOCUS \apps folder, for example:

  2. Unzip the Walmart_Social_Media_Domain_CM_v1.zip file to your WebFOCUS \import folder, for example:
