Hello,
We are setting up a specific project where we are looking for dynamically writing a value file for a parameter set and having a subsequnt job(s) use these for their processing. When using Administrative variables we use $PROJDEF to insure we bring in the latest value from administrator. Is their a similar feature for Parametre sets and their value files?
Thanks - - John

I have found that when using encrypted parameters, for passwords, that are defined within a parameter set, that it is necessary to recompile jobs that rely on the parameter set, every time after a password changes. I have not tested the same behavior when using a values file.

In my case, I have encrypted parameters defined as parameters (not environment variables) within a parameter set. As they are not environment variables, they do not use $PROJDEF and DS Administrator does not come into play.
In 8.7 I must recompile jobs that rely on the encrypted parameter, every time after keying in a changed password value directly into the parameter set. This was not the behavior I originally expected to find but it's happened a number of times and proven otherwise. That's what I wanted to share as FYI to the question about recompiling.
We used to use encrypted environment variables but found in job logs that they were visibly less secure in version 8.7. But, that's different topic...
