      Description:
      There are also settings to log the database encryption used. They will report the current encrpytion level based on the settings the first time a database is opened.

      Administrators may now easily identify which databases are currently encrypted and the encryption level, by setting the following notes.ini variable
      SHOW_ENCRYPTED_DATABASES=

      Utilizes a Bit Mask
      1 is “Show Simple”
      2 is “Show Medium”
      4 is “Show Strong”

      To see all Encrypted Databases
      Simple, Medium and Strong (1+2+4 = 7)
      Set SHOW_ENCRYPTED_DATABASES = 7 in notes.ini

      When encrypted databases are opened for the first time - 0 to 1 transition, one of the following messages will be logged

      “Current encryption strength: SIMPLE - < absolute file path >”
      “Current encryption strength: STRONG - < absolute file path >”

      Legacy Medium encrypted database
      “Current encryption strength: MEDIUM - < absolute file path >”

      New Medium encrypted database with fix (+)
      “Current encryption strength: MEDIUM+ - < absolute file path >”

      As long as running Release 9.0.1, SHOW_ENCRYPTED_DATABASES works for all database ODS levels
