SaScreenPolicy(TCL_ADM)


SaScreenPolicy: SaScreenPolicyGet, SaScreenPolicySet -- save/restore configurable application variables for SCOadmin clients

Syntax

SaScreenPolicyGet client attribute
SaScreenPolicySet client attribute value

Description

SaScreenPolicyGet- get stored user preferences for manager

SaScreenPolicySet- store user preferences for manager

The SaScreenPolicy interface enables SCOadmin applications to retain per-user configurable variables across multiple invocations. Values are stored in a common per-user file in a section reserved for the individual application. All SCOadmin application values are collected together in a single file avoiding unnecessary file system pollution and providing the user with a central place for all preferences.

SaScreenPolicy is implemented using the Stanza files.
