Sharing PSdZ data folder

[voidstar 6]

FAQ

Hello,
I wonder if I can share one PSdZ folder on my machine with all the applications which need the PSdZ folder.
For example someone has Esys, ISTA P, ISTA next and many more on his machine, every installation uses his own PSdZ folder.
Is there an option for only use one PSdZ folder and share this with all applications?

Yes, simply use symbolic link in windows

 

So for example if I create an PSdZ folder under C:/Data i only have to create a shortcut under all the applications folder structure and it works? S

Here is my configuration.
I have ISTA-P valid installation into default C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P...

Then I use ISTA-P original psdzdata for Esys (coding and programming) and ISTA+

example : command to launch into command terminal (administrator is better; depend of your path)

rmdir /s /q C:\Data\psdzdata
rmdir /s /q C:\Data\SWE ### (only for Esys programing)
rmdir /s /q "C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data\psdzdata"

mklink /d C:\Data\psdzdata C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\BMW\Services\data\ecudata\psdzdata
mklink /d C:\Data\SWE C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\BMW\Services\data\ecudata\psdzdata\swe
mklink /d "C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data\psdzdata" C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\BMW\Services\data\ecudata\psdzdata
