Encrypted password for dscmdimport.exe

Post by somu_june »

Hi ,

I'm using dscmdimport.exe command to import the datastage jobs and below is the parameter that is setting up the datastage credentials

SET DParams= /D=%HostName% /H=%ServerName% /U=%userid% /P=%password% %project%

My question is, is there a way to pass the encrypted password for the P parameter which is a password parameter.



Thanks,
Raju

Hi,

In 8.7 version, I found couple of files with encrypt.bat in documentation

install_root\InformationServer\ASBNode\bin\encrypt.bat
install_root\InformationServer\ASBServer\bin\encrypt.bat

When I checked in my local drive using 8.5 version under C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBNode\bin, I'm not able to find the bat file. Is there a way I can use the 8.7 encrypt.bat file in 8.5 version and if I can use please let me know from where I can get that .bat file.



Thanks,
Raju

encrypt.bat was new in version 8.7 and ends up invoking a Java class so, even if you could get the bat file, that would not be enough.

I can't recall whether you could read the parameters from a file with the dscmdexport command - you will need to check your documentation for all options.
