Data Set Management Security

[dougcl]

Hi folks, is there an environment variable or some way of telling the Data Set Management client what to use as a root dir?

We want a project specific way of limiting the scope of the browsing to a project directory.

This would make our UNIX level security MUCH EASIER.

Thanks,
Doug

There isn't, because Data Set Management uses a common dialog and that dialog remembers the most recently used directory path. Further, the same common dialog is used by other tools in the DataStage client suite (such as Configurations editor).

You could lodge an enhancement request.

Thanks Ray, this would be a huge improvement, as it would remove the need to lock down datasets at the UNIX level.

Thanks,
Doug
