Metadata Extraction from Protected Packages

Metadata Extraction from Protected Packages

Metadata Manager can extract metadata from encrypted packages. However, there might be restrictions based on the package protection level. For example, when the whole package is protected, you might have to supply the package password or run the Metadata Manager Agent from a specific user account.
The following table describes the restrictions for each package protection level:
Protection Level
Restrictions
  • Do not save sensitive
  • Encrypt sensitive with password
  • Encrypt sensitive with user key
  • Rely on server storage for encryption
None. Metadata Manager can extract metadata from the package.
Encrypt all with password
Metadata Manager can extract metadata from the package if you specify the password when you create the resource. If you extract metadata from a Microsoft SQL Server repository, all packages within the resource must use the same password.
Encrypt all with user key
Metadata Manager can extract metadata from the package if the user account that you use to start the Metadata Manager Agent is the same as the user account used to create the package.
