Step 3. Create the XML Masking Rule Set

Create the third and final rule set for masking XML data types in a result set. Give the rule set the name that you specified in the previous rule set when you selected the Content Masking action. Then create the rules that directly process the XML data itself. Finally, create a rule within this rule set to apply the masking function.

    Ruleset Name for Resultset
    property in the previous step. For example, "MaskEmpXMLData."
  4. Click
    OK
    .
    Within this rule set, create a rule or rules to match the XML content that you want to mask.
  5. In the Management Console, click the security rule set that you created in the previous step.
