INFA_REPOSITORY_PASSWORD

INFA_REPOSITORY_PASSWORD environment variable applies to the infacmd command line program.
Some infacmd commands require a PowerCenter repository password. You can provide a user password as an option with infacmd, or you can store it as the environment variable INFA_REPOSITORY_PASSWORD.
Use the following steps as a guideline to use an encrypted password as an environment variable:
  1. 1. Use the command line program pmpasswd to encrypt the user password.
    2. pmpasswd generates and displays the encrypted password. For example, if you enter the password “monday,” it encrypts to f/wRb5PZsZnqESTDPeos7Q==.
  2. 2. Configure the password environment variable to set the encrypted value.
