Decrypting a PCF
In MultiTrans 6.1 or higher, custom PCFs are included in the standard MultiTrans build, but are encrypted so customers can only see their own. Following an installation or upgrade, any customer with a custom PCF in the MultiTrans build must decrypt their PCF prior to use.
Procedure
- Stop the Flow service.
- Open the FlowPCF folder in <MultiTrans_Installation_Folder>\MultiTrans Flow 64\runtime. There are three files in this folder:
- pcf.properties: Properties file with the configuration to run the decryption.
- flow-pcf-x.x.jar: Flow Decryption Application.
- flowPCF.bat: Executable file to run the decryption tool.
- Open the pcf.properties file in a text editor and change the following if necessary:
- installation.folder: This is the main folder of the MultiTrans installation, by default, “C:\Program Files\Donnelley”).
- password.list: List of client passwords separated by comma. Only include the password(s) of the PCFs being decrypted.
- log.level: Log level of Flow Upgrade Application, by default, keep it as INFO.
- Once the properties have been set and saved, right-click on flowPCF.bat and choose Run as Administrator. All PCFs with a password entered in the password.list are decrypted and the extra zip files removed.
- Start the Flow service.
