Example: Validating and Updating Encryption States for One Business Class

Commands

The following commands were used to verify (-V) and then update (-U) the encryption status of the Supplier Commodities business class data, in the DBText80 data area. Last, a second validation was performed to ensure that the desired changes had been made.

For the purpose of explaining the output, this example is divided into three sections.

Command Output (A)

This report fragment shows the result of the verify and update commands, plus an additional verification run after the update.

End Time:   2009/04/21 09:09:35.461

Analysis

The second command (datamaint --encryption -U ...) shows 13 Supplier Commodities data elements whose encryption was updated by the utility. Refer to the line marked (B) in the code snippet (above).

Command Output (C, D)

Start Time: 2009/04/21 09:09:40.815
encryptionmaint -Vd dbtest80 suppliercommodities
