If you are upgrading from Release 6.x or 7.0.x, you must upgrade to RC2 or AES encryption. Data encrypted by the standard encryptor must be upgraded to the RC2 standard before it can be read by releases later than 7.0.x. Customers who want to upgrade from Release 6.x must first upgrade to Release 7.7 even if they want to upgrade to a release later than 7.7. Use the Encryption Upgrade utility (encryptupg.exe), located in the bin subdirectory of the Siebel Server directory, to upgrade unencrypted data, and data that was encrypted using the standard encryptor, to the RC2 encryption method. This section describes how to upgrade to 56-bit RC2 encryption. If you want to upgrade to 128-bit RC2 encryption or AES encryption, see About Siebel Strong Encryption Pack. CAUTION: For encryption with Unicode, you must use either AES or RC2 encryption, rather than the Standard Encryptor, which is no longer supported. Perform the following procedures to upgrade your encryption method:
Prerequisites for Upgrading to 56-bit RC2 EncryptionIn order to upgrade to the RC2 encryption method, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
Modifying the Input FileThe input file encrypt_colums.inp indicates the table and column that store the encrypted data, and the table and column that store the key index. The input file is located in The input file must include every column that you want to upgrade. The first line of the input file indicates a table name with brackets around it. The table name should be followed on subsequent lines by all the columns to be upgraded for that table. Each column that stores encrypted data requires a table column to store the key index, which is specified after the column name; for example: [ After each table, skip a line, and continue with subsequent tables. Here is a sample input file: [S_ORDER] [S_DOC_ORDER] [S_PER_PAY_PRFL] To support upgrade of non-encrypted fields to RC2 encryption, add the letter [S_NEW_TABLE] Converting Encrypted Data to 56-bit RC2 EncryptionFollow the instructions below to convert data encrypted using the standard encryptor to 56-bit RC2 encryption. NOTE: The Encryption Upgrade utility writes output to its own log file which is located in the log subdirectory of your Siebel Server directory. The default filename for the log file is encryptupg.log. You can specify another filename for the log file as described by the following procedure. To convert to 56-bit RC2 encryption
