Configuration Parameters for an Advanced Email Address Masking Type

Specify configuration parameters when you configure advanced email address masking.

You can specify the following configuration paramters:

Delimiter: You can select a delimiter, such as a dot, hyphen, or underscore, to separate the first name and last name in the email address. If you do not want to separate the first name and last name in the email address, leave the delimiter as blank.
FirstName Column: Select a Data Masking transformation output port or a dictionary column to mask the first name in the email address.
LastName Column: Select a Data Masking transformation output port or a dictionary column to mask the last name in the email address.
Length for the FirstName or LastName columns: Restricts the character length to mask for the first name and the last name columns. For example, the input data is Timothy for the first name and Smith for the last name. Select 5 as the length of the first name column. Select 1 as the length of the last name column with a dot as the delimiter. The Data Masking transformation generates the following email address:

timot.s@<domain_name>
DomainName: You can use a constant value, such as gmail.com, for the domain name. Or, you can specify another dictionary file that contains a list of domain names. The domain dictionary can be a flat file or a relational table.
