URL Address Masking

The Data Masking transformation parses a URL by searching for the ‘://’ string and parsing the substring to the right of it. The source URL must contain the ‘://’ string. The source URL can contain numbers and alphabetic characters.

The Data Masking transformation does not mask the protocol of the URL. For example, if the URL is

http://www.yahoo.com

, the Data Masking transformation can return

http://MgL.aHjCa.VsD/

. The Data Masking transformation can generate a URL that is not valid.

The Data Masking transformation always returns ASCII characters for a URL.
