Hi Aman,

To view the contents of a PGP-encrypted file, you will need access to the corresponding private PGP key along with a PGP decryption tool (for example, Kleopatra).

However, if your goal is to import the file into Dayforce using one of the built-in tools or platforms, manual decryption may not be necessary, as the platform may be able to handle the decryption during processing.

Could you please provide a bit more detail about what you're trying to accomplish? Specifically, Could you please clarify what you're using to process the file? Are you processing it through the Connector, or are you using HR Import? This information will help us better understand your scenario and provide the most appropriate guidance.

Thank you!
