Description

Environment
All supported environments
Resolution
Recommended Resolution
TIBCO recommends the following resolution for embedded spaces in the PSW install directory:
1) Create a soft link in Windows
An admin can execute this command to create a soft link to the PSW install directory.
mklink /D "C:\tibco\MFTPlatformServer" "C:\tibco\MFT Platform Server"
Note: Executing the mklink command requires "Create Symbolic Links" right or running the command shell as an administrator.
The path can be updated to specify the directory name without embedded spaces. Then users could refer to the directory with or without the spaces.
2) Change the MFTPS service to point to the linked directory
Update the registry entry to remove spaces:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\MFTPS
Update the ImagePath to point to the directory without embedded spaces.
