E.2 Populating an ENCKEYS File with Encryption Keys

Learn how to use an ENCKEYS file.

You must generate and store encryption keys when using the security features:

• ENCRYPTTRAIL (see Setting Up the Data Encryption)

• ENCRYPT PASSWORD with ENCRYPTKEY keyname (see Encrypting a Password in a Command or Parameter File)

• RMTHOST or RMTHOSTOPTIONS with ENCRYPT (see Setting Up the Data Encryption)

You can define your own key or run the Oracle GoldenGate KEYGEN utility to create a random key.
