De-encrypting parameters

Hola mis amigos.

I need to know how to de-encrypt some parameters that are defined as encrypted.

I mean, I want to make a call to DSLogInfo function for the value of the parameters to be sure that I'm receiving the correct value.

Is there any function or any way to see the value of an encrypted field or parameter ?

Thanks in advance.

No, they are encrypted so that this is not possible.

IBM would not be happy if someone published a way to decrypt these values.

The whole purpose of encryption is to avoid it from public display.

Anyhow in earlier version of DataStage you can identify the value of the encrypted parameter.

Ogmios should be along soon to let us all know how easy it is to decrypt things in DataStage.

Hi,
Having all that said...
In order to test for development reasons nothing prevents you from logging the value from inside the job

Bare in mind you should not leave any job in this condition in your production project what so ever (or loose the whole encrypted idea)

IHTH,

Hi,
Does this means that one cannot decrypt the job paramters like user id and password which have been encrypted?

Thanks

try this :

DSGetParamInfo(DSJ.ME,"<parameter name>", DSJ.PARAMVALUE)

eg:

DSGetParamInfo(DSJ.ME,"Database_Password", DSJ.PARAMVALUE)
