This parameter encrypts all Teradata ARC data that is sent across a network, but it does not encrypt data written to tape.
Encryption and decryption require additional CPU resources. Therefore, using this parameter significantly affects the backup and restoration of data being sent to and received by Teradata ARC.
For additional information about statements related to this parameter, see LOGDATA and LOGMECH.
For more information about the encryption feature, see Teradata Call-Level Interface Version 2 Reference for Workstation-Attached Systems (B035-2418).
