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 SASHDAT 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.
