Enabling AI file encryption after enabling encryption

Database Administration

Protecting Your Data : Transparent Data Encryption : Enabling Encryption : Enabling AI file encryption after enabling encryption

If you specifically indicate that your AI files should not be encrypted when you first enable encryption on your database, you can enable them for encryption at a later point in time in the following ways:

You can re-issue PROUTIL ENABLEENCRYPTION and add -aiencryption enable to the command line, as shown:

proutil dbname -C enableencryption -aiencryption enable

You can indicate that AI files are to be encrypted when you begin AI operations, as shown:

rfutil dbname -C aimage begin -aiencryption enable

By default, if your database is enabled for encryption, enabling after-imaging attempts to enable encryption for your AI files.

You can indicate that AI files are to be encrypted when you enable after-imaging with an online backup, as shown:

probkup dbnamebackupname -enableai -aiencryption enable

By default, if your database is enabled for encryption, enabling after-imaging enables encryption for your AI files.

Note: You can use the same commands, with -aiencryption disable to turn off the encryption of your AI files.
