Creating Encrypted Command File for IBM i

Command File

In this example, a Universal Command command file named MYLIB/QTXTSRC(TESTLOGIN) contains the following data:

The command file options used in this example are:

Option	Description
-userid	User ID or account with which to execute the remote command.
-pwd	Password associated with -userid.

The following command encrypts the command file using non-AES encryption with an encryption key MYKEY123 for default codepage IBM1047.

The resulting encrypted command file is written to file ENCRYPTEDF in MYLIB library.

The command line options used in this example are:

Option	Description
INFILE	Input file that is to be encrypted.
INMBR	Location of data in the input file that is to be encrypted.
OUTFILE	File to which the encrypted input file is written.
OUTMBR	Location of data in the file to which the encrypted input file is written.
KEY	Encryption key used by the encryption algorithm.

The figure below illustrates the contents of MYLIB/ENCRYPTEDF(ENCRYPTEDF).

This encrypted file now can be used as command file input for a Universal Agent command on any platform that uses the encryption key MYKEY123.
