PSdZ Data

PSdzData, sometimes to as service data, contains information about each vehicle family and the hardware and software that it may be running for each configuration.

The PSdzData name can be divided into two parts. The first part, PSdZ, stands for Programmiersystem der Zukunft or programming system of the future in English.

KISWB

PSdzData has many many components. Inside PSdzData folder structures you may find some folders named KISWB. The WB portion of that name comes from WissensBasis that means knowledge base in English.

The files contained inside KISWB are HSQL databases. These files can be opened using any HyperSQL DataBase client. Currently, my recommended tool to work with KISWB databases is DBeaver.

In order to open a KISWB download and install DBeaver. Open the program and click on the new database connection button.

From the option list select HSQL Embedded option and click on Next.

Select the folder path of the KISWB database you want to browse. Also, make sure you append the KIS file name at the end. Clock on Finish.

You may now browse the database contents.
