Enabling user environment customization using group setup files

jaleco

Can anyone offer insight into how to enable individual users to customize their environments when working in multiple projects, each project having multiple users, and each project having its own setup files?

Is there a specific PATH order that setup files will be loaded in, such that person A can maintain their own setup files that will be loaded before the group/project setup files, and independent of person B's personal setup files so that there are no collisions?

Or if not, is this something that could be coded into the setup files, to look for personal setup files on startup, and append them to the group/project setup file content?

    I will add a small note to what Andrew has mentioned above.  You tagged your post with ".cdsenv" and ".cdsinit" so I will comment on these files.  By default the search mechanism for these files does not follow the CSF - the "caiuser" document that Andrew mentions tells you how to create a csfLookupConfig file to include these files in the CSF lookup mechanism. You can set the CDS_LOAD_ENV environment variable to control how the .cdsenv files are found and loaded, and this can have the value "CSF" which would have the same effect, but this would not alter how .cdsinit files are found.

    Hopefully the documentation covers what you need to know.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
