How can I configure an IASP connection in IBM Bob / Code for IBM i 7.5?

[maxtoninelli]

I am using the latest version of IBM Bob with the IBM Bob Premium Package for i, connected via SSH to an IBM i 7.5 system.

The connection works correctly, but Bob/Code for IBM i only shows libraries located in *SYSBAS. My source files, programs and data are stored in an independent ASP named IASP01.

The connection must use my existing IBM i user profile, MASSI, because this profile already has all the required authorities to access the applications and data. I cannot use a separate user profile.

I also cannot assign INLASPGRP(IASP01) permanently to the job description associated with MASSI, because the same profile is used for other jobs and environments that must not automatically start in this IASP.

I understand that older versions of Code for IBM i had a “Source ASP” connection setting, but this option appears to have been removed.

Is there currently a supported way to:

select IASP01 for a specific Bob/Code for IBM i connection;
run SETASPGRP ASPGRP(IASP01) automatically for every SSH job created by that connection; or
associate a specific job description with only this Bob connection, while continuing to use the MASSI profile?

Running SETASPGRP manually in a terminal does not appear to affect the separate jobs used by the Object Browser, SQL tools and Bob.

How should this scenario be configured?
Thank you Max

Hi @maxtoninelli ,
you should set up a profile to set the current iASP.

This is done from the Environment view: https://codefori.github.io/docs/environment/profiles/#manage-profiles

It should do the trick 😄
