Generating an encrypted passphrase

The PASSWORD=%PWD specification must start at column 4 and it must be on a JCL line by itself within the JOB statement at the beginning of the template JCL.

Passphrase Definition

An i5/OS passphrase can be from 9 to 31 characters in length.
A z/OS passphrase can be from 9 to 128 characters in length for PWXPC connections or from 9 to 79 characters in length for ODBC connections.
On z/OS, a valid RACF passphrase can be up to 100 characters in length. PowerExchange truncates passphrases longer than 100 characters when passing them to RACF for validation. IMS netport passphrases cannot exceed 60 characters in length.
A z/OS passphrase used in netport and DB2 Loader jobs is limited by the 80 byte JCL limit so cannot exceed 68 characters

Uppercase and lowercase letters
The numbers 0 to 9
Spaces
The following special characters:
’ - ; # \ , . / ! % & * ( ) _ + { } : @ | < > ?
The first character is an apostrophe. IMS netport passphrases cannot specify an apostrophe.

Passphrase Usage Considerations

All PowerExchange instances in your environment must use PowerExchange version 9.6.0 or later.
On z/OS, passphrases are not supported for netport jobs. Passphrases also are not supported for JCL template jobs such as DB2LDJCL and IDMSMJCL in the RUNLIB library that are submitted by the Listener in response to a PowerCenter or PowerExchange Navigator client request for connection to a source or target.
The PowerExchange Listener must run with a security setting of SECURITY=(1,N) or higher in the DBMOVER member.
To use passphrases for IMS connections, ensure that the following requirements are met:
You must configure ODBA access to IMS as described in the
PowerExchange Navigator User Guide
.
You must use IMS data maps that specify IMS ODBA as the access method. Do not use data maps that specify the DL/1 BATCH access method because this access method requires the use of netport jobs, which do not support passphrases.
The IMS database must be online in the IMS control region to use ODBA access to IMS.
