The only explanation given for "installation-wide" is "SMP/E uses this table data set to save process status information for the SYSMOD management dialogs." What problems occur[1] if you don't use a shared SMPTABL?I've run into problems when it's shared.
The intent is to allow users to share workload and pickup an install process from a coworker as Joel clearly explained. If you don't want this ability, then by all means define a unique SMPTABL per user. There are no "problems" if you do so, but you won't get the intended benefit.
I'm curious, what problems have you run into caused by sharing SMPTABL?
