Mask rule parameter attributes for masking techniques

Define the parameter attribute values of a mask rule parameter when you run the

mapping

task. The attributes that you define depend on the masking technique that you apply.

For example, to mask a billing city field with the Substitution City masking technique, define the following attributes:

[
  {
    "referenceField": "BillingCity",
    "pcType": "string",
    "precision": 40,
    "paramMap": {
      "isSeeded": "TRUE",
      "seedValue": "190",
      "dicName": "informatica_mask_us_towns.dic",
      "outputPort": "TOWNNAMES",
    },
    "maskingType": "Substitution City"
  }
]

The following table lists the attributes that you define for each masking technique:
