BCP Authentication

You don’t need to pass a dblogin/pass to this procedure.  You can use a trusted connection, which will use the SQL Proxy Account for the process.  This is what the Extractions process, and the import utilities use.  Just pass ‘-T’ as the dblogin parameter value and NULL for the password.  Take a look at AP_CONSTITUENT_IMPORT around line 343 for an example.

Subject: [Tessitura Technical Forum] BCP Authentication

I'm attempting to create a procedure that makes use of AP_BCP_FILE and wondered if anyone has thoughts on what the best practices are for authenticating using that proc. It takes a db_login and db_password. I suspect hard-coding  a login and pass are probably not best. 

Any thoughts?

thanks,

Brian
