2.13 Command-Line Options to Generate Password Protected Collection zip Files

Use the list of commands in this section to encrypt and decrypt diagnostic collection zip files.

Table 2-4 Encrypt and Decrypt Diagnostic Collection zip Files

Option	Description
./orachk –d start –encryptzip ./exachk –d start –encryptzip	Starts the daemon with –encryptzip option. The daemon prompts for a password when it starts. The daemon then encrypts the subsequent on-demand and scheduled runs collections with that password. Note: When -encryptzip is passed, Oracle ORAchk and Oracle EXAchk after successfully encrypting the diagnostic collection zip file delete the collections directory.
./orachk [-option value] -encryptzip ./exachk [-option value] -encryptzip	Encrypts the run result. Prompts for the password, and encrypts the collections created at the end of the run with that password. You can use -encryptzip with other Oracle ORAchk and Oracle EXAchk options that generate a collection. For example: ./orachk -profile profile-name -encryptzip ./orachk -profile sysadmin -encryptzip ./orachk -check check-id -encryptzip ./orachk -check D47661C55B1A291AE0431EC0E50A5C53 -encryptzip Note: When -encryptzip is passed, Oracle ORAchk and Oracle EXAchk after successfully encrypting the diagnostic collection zip file delete the collections directory.
./orachk –encryptzip zip_file ./exachk –encryptzip zip_file	Encrypts the already generated collection. Prompts for the password, encrypts the zip file specified with that password, and then renames the collections as, for example, orachk_host_db_encrypted_date_time.zip. Note: When -encryptzip is passed, Oracle ORAchk and Oracle EXAchk after successfully encrypting the diagnostic collection zip file delete the collections directory.
./orachk –decryptzip zip_file ./exachk –decryptzip zip_file	Decrypts the encrypted collection. Prompts for the password, decrypts the zip file specified with that password, and then renames the collections as, for example, orachk_host_db_date_time.zip.
