When you are ready to enable your database for Transparent Data Encryption, there are two required steps, as discussed in the following sections:

  • Adding an encryption policy area
  • Running ENABLEENCRYPTION

Additional, optional steps, discussed in the following sections, include:

  • Enabling BI file encryption after enabling encryption
  • Enabling AI file encryption after enabling encryption
  • Verifying enablements
Note: If you are enabling encryption on a database that is also configured for OpenEdge Replication, see Replication support for additional instructions.
