SIGNERFILEPOLICY Data Set Option

specifies to apply the encryption policies stored in metadata to the file.

Syntax

SIGNERFILEPOLICY

Details

When a table is written with the SAS Data in HDFS engine engine or saved with the SAVE statement in the IMSTAT procedure, the software does not check with metadata for the following:
  • whether the Hadoop server and path are associated with a library
  • whether a passphrase for encryption is associated with the library
If you specify SIGNERFILEPOLICY and the SIGNER= option, then the software checks whether the file should be encrypted. If it should be, the server encrypts the file with the passphrase that is stored in metadata.
