How to create a Mklink shortcut to link ISTA Psdzdata to Esys Data on C:\data

For members who not yet overcome this hurdle.

How to link ISTA service data package (Pszddata) to Esys directory located on C:\data\
Note of Caution: make sure there is no folder name "pszdzdata" located C:\data\

Firstly open CMD.exe and run as Administrator, then Copy & Pastes this "instructions" into Command Prompt (CMD), then hit "ENTER KEY"

 

  Iinstalled the psdzdata in ista-p, then created a symbolic link to enable rheingold and e-sys to use the same psdzdata used by ista-p.

please note the paths shown below worked for me, but your machine may have different paths and therefore would need different command lines

If you have installed ISTA-P on C:\ISTA-P

rmdir /s /q C:\Data\psdzdata
rmdir /s /q C:\Data\SWE
rmdir /s /q "C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata"

mklink /d C:\Data\psdzdata C:\ISTA-P\BMW\Services\data\ecudata\psdzdata
mklink /d C:\Data\SWE C:\ISTA-P\BMW\Services\data\ecudata\psdzdata\SWE
mklink /d "C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata" "C:\EC-APPS\ISTA\PSdZ\data\psdzdata"

If you do it as instructed you will see a psdzdata shortcut created in C:\data\
If you click on the Psdzdata you will see it opens to all SWE in the root Target Path where the short cut is created from "C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA\Rheingold\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata"

Try run Esys and click on the connection connector and see if the Targetselectors is loaded in there.
