Sharing PSDZdata files between istaP and ESYS - BMWlad - 27-03-2016
Is it possible/wise to share PSDZ data folders between ESYS and ISTA P?
Only reason is having two sets of the files feels like I'm wasting 50GB+ of hard drive.

Possible. Symbolic link. Google it.

Don't know if it is wise, but it is possible if you work with Symlinks.
For creating a symlink
1. Delete Folder which should contain additional PSDZdata
1. Start CMD with elevated Adminrights.
2. execute 'mklink /D C:\PATHtoSYMLINK C:\PathtoPSDZdataFolder'
That is just an example. Of course you have different folders you have to copy. So you should also link every needed folder

I'm using this cmd to create the symlink:
mklink /J c:\Data\psdzdata C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\BMW\Services\data\ecudata\psdzdata
After this, E-Sys will always use same psdzdata as ista/p.

Mklink does the job just right , and btw you don't even need any special process, just put the full path of your ista p ecu data file in esys and everything works without any issue .

Here we go - Try this
RE: Sharing PSDZdata files between istaP and ESYS - georgia55 - 28-03-2016
This is easiest way
-Delete The psdzdata folder in c: / data
-in Win 8 or Win10 on Search Search CMD (the DOS box)
-Start Of CMD with administrator rights
-Eingeben of
mklink / D C: \ Data \ psdzdata C: \ Program Data \ BMW \ ISPI \ data \ TRIC \ ISTA-P \ BMW \ Services \ data \ ecudata \ psdzdata
Don't forget press thanks, like and reputation, if my post helped you.
thank you

I have to dig up this thread
Things are changed since 2016 and now fresh psdzdata is in ISTA+, not ISTA /P
I used mklink to ISTA-P like in posts above but I want to switch to Rheingold directory but there comes one question:
should I use psdzdata from data folder (BLP) or data_swi (SDP) ?
RE: Sharing PSDZdata files between istaP and ESYS - SweetBMW - 09-10-2018
Your should put Data swi
RE: Sharing PSDZdata files between istaP and ESYS - atomantmk - 09-10-2018
Delete folders C:\data\psdzdata and C:\data\SWE and run cmd as administrator type this:
MKLINK /d C:\data\psdzdata "C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata
MKLINK /d C:\data\SWE "C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata\swe
Now you can use E-Sys for software update too.
