Job Scheduler: Encryption

Job Scheduler now supports a GPG PHP extension for PHP 8.3 scripts. Administrators can use this extension in scheduled jobs to encrypt files with OpenPGP public key and decrypt encrypted files with OpenPGP private key.

This capability enables file encryption and decryption to be included directly in automated Job Scheduler workflows, such as preparing files for secure transfer or processing encrypted inbound files.

• This enhancement helps administrators automate OpenPGP-based file processing. It provides a consistent, supported way to include encryption and decryption steps in scheduled jobs.
• Organizations can use this capability to streamline secure file-handling workflows, reduce manual processing, and improve operational consistency for recurring processes.

Steps to enable and configure

The Oracle B2C Service Instance has to be upgraded to 26B version for encryption to be available in Job Scheduler.

Access requirements

Job Scheduler Edit permission is required for encryption and decryption of files.
