You can encrypt data during a transfer. Data can be encrypted at the system, job, and object level by using either the system level property job.databaseClientEncryption, or the job and object level property db_client_encryption.
Client encryption behaves differently depending on the
force_utility selected:
| Utility |
Behavior |
|---|
| ARC or TPTAPI |
Data is encrypted during transfer. |
| QueryGrid, JDBC, or Hadoop |
Only the connection between the source and target system is encrypted, not the data. |
Scope Levels and Priority Logic
The following table shows the objects included at each scope level, and the priority logic applied if you specify different values at the scope levels. If you set the database client encryption flag at more than one scope level, the smallest scope has the highest priority. For example, if you set
job.databaseClientEncryption to
true at the system level, but
false at the job level, the data transfer for this is not encrypted.
| Scope Level |

| Job |
All tables and views in the job |
