The PWD statement specifies a password for the user ID specified in the USER statement. The password and user ID are used to access maps and registrations on the source system.
If the maps and registrations are on an i5/OS or z/OS system, you can enter a valid PowerExchange passphrase instead of a password.
If the TARGETPWD statement is not specified, the PWD statement also specifies the password or passphrase for the target to which maps and registrations are copied.
Use the following syntax:
PWD
password_or_passphrase
;
Use a PowerExchange passphrase for enhanced security. 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. A passphrase can contain the following characters:
Uppercase and lowercase letters
The numbers 0 to 9
Spaces
The following special characters:
’ - ; # \ , . / ! % & * ( ) _ + { } : @ | < > ?
The first character is an apostrophe.
Passphrases cannot include single quotation marks (‘), double quotation marks (“), or currency symbols.
If a passphrase contains spaces, you must enclose it with double-quotation marks ("), for example,
"This is a passphrase"
. If a passphrase contains special characters, you must enclose it with triple double-quotation characters ("""), for example,
"""This passphrase contains special characters ! % & *."""
. If a passphrase contains only alphanumeric characters without spaces, you can enter it without delimiters.
To use passphrases, ensure that the PowerExchange Listener runs with a security setting of SECURITY=(1,N) or higher in the DBMOVER configuration member. On z/OS, the DTLCFG DD statement in the DTLURDMO JCL points to the DBMOVER member. On i5/OS, the DBMOVER member is the CFG file in the PowerExchange
datalib
library. For more information, see "SECURITY Statement" in the
PowerExchange Reference Manual
.
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.
