sometimes, it's desirable that users on an IBM i system can modify and persistently save individual settings of applications. Example: A default sorting order for some table view. But not necessarily limited to that.
Not every user necessarily has a personal library to create a PF for saving things there. And, this approach unnecessarily clutters libraries.
Not every user necessarily has a home folder to create a file for saving things there.
What's more, depending on how a user accesses the data, these approaches might lack authority to access or update the files. AFAIK, the web server runs with a separate user profile. This is less of an issue with "local" (5250) users.
A central, application specific file would accumulate old entries (when user profiles are deleted from the system, for example).
What is the best way to save local user preferences (mainly for 5250 users of applications)? Any thoughts from the group on this topic?
Thanks!
