Re: IBM i Navigator directory

Bryan,
I have a newer thread I started this week about a Navigator error.
Basically all the obfuscated directories, and the files within the
obfuscated directory, need to be owned by the user this is for. *public
needs to be *exclude. QWEBADMIN *RWX with all boxes checked.
As far as I'm concerned the obfuscated directory, and it's contents can be
deleted along with the user. I see no point to keeping them.

I'm going to have to do something similar for our users. thanks for the
nudge to get me going on it.
I'm trying to figure out how the ownership for the files are done.
since users now "own objects in the IFS" we have to work on our
procedures for removing users.

Thank you. I found that too. The users directory name is obfuscated but
the file names in that directory clearly indicate which user they are.
And if the user is on more than one system they will have the same
obfuscated name. This is good. This allows us to replicate that
PREFERENCES directory between systems with our H/A software.
It would be nice if IBM had a technote or knowledge base article how to
replicate Navigator settings in a software replication H/A environment.

I

alluded to that in my case but he didn't pick up that ball and run with

it.

Rob the preferences for each user is stored here:

Boss likes IBM i Navigator. Set it up on one system to have all lpars

on

all systems accessible to see performance. So far so good.
We are using H/A software replication. When we were running on the

backup

system none of the other systems were there. I'm guessing there's some
directory in the IFS which stores this information we need to start
replicating.
Does anyone know what this directory is?
