Data Encryption for Merged Systems

You might have a scenario in which data from two different EnterpriseOne systems is merged. The data in the combined database might have had different current site keys. The first system can continue to use its current site key. For the second system merged with the first EnterpriseOne system, you must enter its site key text value into the PreviousKey setting in the JDE.INI file of the first system. At that point, the data from both systems can be decrypted. The data from the second system should then have its data re-encrypted using the current site key.

After all the data in the second system is re-encrypted, only the current site key is required for future encryption; the previous site key entry can be manually deleted from the JDE.INI. It cannot be programmatically removed because the programs cannot determine if there is additional data somewhere that is still encrypted with the previous site key.
