Hi everyone,

I would not use Context:CurrentUserId inside any content class templates 
because it is a rendertag listed in the official navigation manager 
documentation.  Support can refuse support on anything that is undocumented.

HOWEVER, if you use within Custom Rendertag code, well, I think it has to 
be supported because the OpenText rendertag object do expose that property.

Since version 9, sessionkey and loginguid is the same, CurrentUserId is 
something else, something not the same or related.

RQL from custom rendertag...to do or not to do.  Well, the custom rendertag 
documentation explicitly says no because it may cause application 
deadlocks.  Well, same thing was said about RQL and preexecution.  In the 
RQL and preexecution case, action="save" RQL may cause deadlocks, query 
only ones seems to be ok.  Hope it is the same for RQL and custom rendertag.

The OpenText US Consultant team is undecided on the best practice regarding 
custom rendertag.  It is a beautiful and powerful thing and we wanted to 
use it.  However, just like it was with preexecution, we later found it to 
be a something that would make a project slow and nightmare to 
maintain/hand over to client properly.

Hilmar, sir, it seems like you are in the same exploration phase as we 
are.  Please, post back to the forum, here or solutionexchange about your 
findings.

Thank you,

-Jian
