DSXchange

Hi all,
because of Information security considerations, I should run DataStage jobs ,on windows 2008, with DSJOB command without user and password.
What is the DSJOB command syntax for that?

Thanks.

Look into the -f option to read the credential information from a file and thus not expose them on the command line.

I've already thought about it.
This means that I need to expose the username and the password into a file, and that is forbidden by Information security policy.
more ideas?

Thanks!

There is no other way... and you shouldn't need to 'expose' the file at all, you should be able to lock it down in a manner that your security people approve. Have you specifically ask them?

When you get to version 8.7 you can strongly encrypt the password whether it's on the command line or in an authentication file.

Good... that's how we are handling it with Informatica and the DoD at DISA.

... and you can specify your own encryption algorithm/software. The default (AES-128) is sufficient for my needs, even within Defence.
