Question

Using Windows Symlinks for vaults for an upgrade

Hello,

 

I was wondering if any one had a working example of how to create the windows symbolic link for vault when performing an Upgrade.  Since the source and target paths are different, and they cannot satisfy the upgrade process for being identical, I am told.

 

I found this discussion in regards to Creo, which tells me I have the right command (mklink).

 

My source is:

C:\PTC\Windchill_10.1\Vaults
Target is:

D:\ptc\Windchill_11\Vaults

 

Which would result in the following to make a link or pointer from the c: source directory to the d: target directory:

 

mklink /D C:\PTC\Windchill_10.1\Vaults D:\ptc\Windchill_11\Vaults

 

I know I can proceed with a test upgrade without vaults, and I will be doing that.  However, this question will come up again!

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,
