How to share ISTA Psdzdata with E-sys via Mklink. - hayend - 04-09-2022
E-sys and ISTA can share Psdzdata. How to share ISTA Psdzdata with E-sys via Mklink.
1. c:\Data\Pdszdata folder delete or name change
2. run command prompt
3. mklink /d "C:\Data\psdzdata" "C:\EC-APPS\ISTA\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata"

Just for the future, if you want to share Full psdzdata from ISTA+ to Esys just link the folders:
1.Run CMD as administrator
2.Write - mklink /j "c:\Data\psdzdata\" "C:\EC-APPS\ISTA\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata" <---(put your own directories)
If you have standard folder, you'll see Data folder, instead of ESysData.
Each time you'll update ISTA+ database, you'll have updated for esys too.

there is no point of mklink anymore. Just open E-Sys, go to Options > Settings > D:\ISTA\PSdZ\data_swi <=== browse to your ISTA installation folder and follow the data_swi.

Just for clarification, need newer E-Sys that has PSdZ-Data folder option in addition to the standard Data folder option.

Not really, I`m using 3.30.1 and now all my e-sys folders are not in C:\Data anymore, they all moved in D:\ISTA\PSdZ\data_swi

Yes old E-Sys you would have to set entire Data folder. Point is in new E-Sys, you can leave Data folder to default C:\Data and set only the PSdZ-Data folder to use ISTA psdzdata.

My psdzdata file are here C:\Program Files (x86)\BMW\ISPI\TRIC\ISTA\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata
Its not possible to make mklink with this path (Syntax error)
mklink /J C:\Program Files (x86)\BMW\ISPI\TRIC\ISTA\PSdZ\data_swi\psdzdata
And in Esys it did not accept this path too
I think that are the free spaces "C:\Program Files (x86)\" But i can not delete or install somewhere else,
how could i solve this?

You are right. It is because of the spaces. You have to start the path with „ and at the end also „.
„C:\program files (x86)\…….“
That should solve your problem.

You can use LINK SHELL EXTENSION, its a symbolic link plugin in context menu, very useful
