PROUTIL DBAUTHKEY qualifier

Sets an authorization key for a database.

Syntax

proutil db-name -C dbauthkey old-key new-key

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the database you are using.
old-key
Specifies the old authorization key.
new-key
Specifies the new authorization key.

Notes

*You use the DBAUTHKEY qualifier to set, change, and remove authorization keys. When you compile source code, the value of this key is included in your r-code. CRC-based r-code that does not include the correct authorization key will not run against your database. The following table lists the values you must enter for each task:
Task

*Once you set the authorization key, do not forget it. You cannot change or remove the authorization key without knowing its current value.
*After you set, change, or remove the authorization key for a database, you can use the RCODEKEY qualifier to update your r-code without recompiling it.
