Hi Bill,

    There is no "exit" that can override the search location for the user's keyfile or provider file to be used. Because of the security requirement that each user have unique credentials to access the object storage, CDA will only look in the current user's home directory to find the gdk/gdkkeyf.json file. On our sysplexes, the user's home directory from the OMVS segment is available from the same path. The MOUNT of the ZFS can specify things like RWSHARE for the user's home ZFS, and there is other magic that ensures that a ZFS is at least readable from other LPARs in the plex. 
    If you want to have a sysplex-wide default directory for the provider files, we specifically leave the /usr/lpp/dfsms/gdk/providers/ directory empty so that you can have a MOUNT in the BPXPRMxx of a ZFS for that location, that way the system provider files can be shared across the plex. 

    Would you give me some more details about what you are trying to do, and what is stopping you?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the update.
The issue was that we have an OPC OMVS segment with different paths on lpars in our sysplex. I will now merge the filesystems to a new sysplex wide mounted zFS RWShare and we should be good.
