Hi @Anuja Jadhav 

I used is many times but never notice any major performance issue unless I am doing cache flush regularly which we mostly dont do.

Still if you want to set any value for current user in session you can use gs.getSession().putClientData();

OR

you can glide on property table and set the value.

Thank you

Hi there,

"you can glide on property table and set the value."

That won't make a difference. A system property update causes a cache flush.

Kind regards,

Hi there,

In theory indeed this can cause performance issues. Though it depends really on your usage. If you are just updating system properties once in a while, and even outside of office hours... you won't feel anything.

Though if you are using this to update system properties frequently, multiple times a month, etc.: Then re-design! Then using a system property isn't the correct way to go for your functionality. Instead, use a custom table to store regularly changing information.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.
