To create a previous site key value:

If the current site key is changed, the encryption system uses the previous site key to decrypt old data items so that the new current site key can re-encrypt the date items.

If a new current site key is added, the "current" site key will become the "previous" site key in the JDE.INI settings. If encrypted data is being merged from a system that had used a different site key, then that site key can be added to the JDE.INI by entering its password for the "previous" key. An alternative method would be to copy the site key text from the INI of the merged system, and entering it as a "previous" key directly in the INI.

1. In the sitekey program, enter -p to access the password prompt, for example:

   $ sitekey -p

2. At the Enter Password prompt, enter the password that was used for the former "current" site key, and then press Enter.

   The sitekey program converts the password into a site key value that is wrapped, encoded, and converted to a text string that is stored in the [SITEKEY] section in the JDE.INI file.

3. Restart all EnterpriseOne systems in the same order as described in the preceding steps for creating a current site key.
