Chapter 4: Decrypt PROSPECT

Replace and verify the decrypted file

  1. Return to Data File Management and confirm that only PROSPECT is selected.
  2. Choose Import Files (CSV), set 2 = Replace, and click Proceed.
  3. Confirm that every exported record was imported.
  4. Run Verify Files Menu, Verify Integrity of APPXIO Files.
  5. Reopen the sample records in DMO and compare them with the pre-conversion values.
  6. Make another headerless CSV export and compare it with the saved export.

PROSPECT was recreated without the encrypted-file flag in this test, and all 7 records were retained. The later database round-trip comparison also confirmed the original PROSPECT CSV values.

Keep the old key and passphrase record while encrypted backups remain in retention. Decrypting the current file does not decrypt an older backup.
