Use Encrypted Compiler Mode (-rx) to enable query or run-time OpenEdge clients to compile encrypted source code and access the Data Dictionary to manage schema (for example: for security management and to dump or load .df files).

If OpenEdge is started with -rx, you can only compile encrypted source code (on-the-fly or into r-code). Use -rx when you are shipping an application in the form of encrypted source code to end-user sites having query or run-time versions of OpenEdge. You must prepare a tool that end users can run to compile your code, and this tool must include a command that invokes OpenEdge with -rx. If you need to run the encrypted source code directly, you also need to use -rx.
