The first rule in the StoredProc rule set is the MatchProcNamesFolder rule. The rule identifies requests to restrict the number of requests that go through the masking rules, which improves performance. The database may have stored procedures and table-valued functions that you do not want Dynamic Data Masking to affect the results of, such as maintenance stored procedures. Configure the MatchProcNamesFolder rule so that those stored procedures are not a match for the rule.

You can use any matcher to identify incoming requests that call stored procedures or table-valued functions. For example, if the names of the stored procedures in the database begin with Proc_, you can use a regular expression to identify requests that contain Proc_.

The MatchProcNamesFolder has the following parameters:

Rule Name

The rule name is MatchProcNamesFolder.

Matcher

The rule uses the Text matcher. You can change the matcher based on how you want to identify stored procedures.

Text

You can use regular expressions in the Text parameter to identify stored procedures.

Rule Action

The rule uses the Folder action. The Folder action creates a rule folder.

Processing Action

The rule uses the Stop if Matched action.
