Question:
In order to encrypt files, do I need to have the variable set in the config file before migration, or would I need to redo the migration process?
Answer:
To encrypt your data files when converting to c-treeRTG using ISMIGRATE, you have two options:
- If you use the ISMIGRATE wizard, you can check the "Encrypt" checkbox during the setup of c-treeRTG.
- If you launch ISMIGRATE in console mode with parameters, you can set
iscobol.ismigrate_make_encrypt=true
in the configuration file passed on the command line.
If you set them after running ISMIGRATE, you'll have to redo the migration.
