passing encrypted parameter passwords from our control job

[sammckinney]

First off we are using v6.0.1. We have just started having an issue passing encrypted parameter passwords from our control job to our underlying jobs. We are using DataStage Manager to export the control file that contains all parameters including the encrypted passwords. For each encrypted password in the control job, the resulting .dsx export file
contains ********* i.e. the value of the parameter field instead of the usual password algorithm. As a result each job under control fails due to incorrect password problems. We have been troubleshooting this problem for a while by recompiling and re-exporting the job but this does not seem to work all of the time. Is this a known problem or can someone suggest something else that we should try short of hard-coding the password which we don't want to do!

Welcome aboard. :D

You can reset parameter defaults in the Director client, but this does not change the design-time defaults.

Contact your support provider to ask whether there are any known issues in your version of DataStage related to what you are trying to accomplish.
