Configure default rules parameters

You can edit the default rules files and configure the parameters for default assignments.

The following table describes the parameters that you can configure in the default_rules.xml file:

Parameter	Description
isSeeded	To configure repeatable output. Enter True or False. If you enter True, specify a seed value.
seedValue	A starting number to create repeatable output. Enter a number from 1 through 999.
keepCardIssuer	Masks a credit card number with the same credit card type. Enter True or False. If you enter False, specify the targetIssuer parameter.
targetIssuer	Masks the credit card numbers with the selected credit card type. You can enter the following credit card types: ANY, JCB, VISA, AMEX, DISCOVER, and MASTERCARD.
firstNameColumn	Name of the column to use as the first part of the email name. The email name contains the masked value of the column you choose.
firstNameLength	The maximum number of characters of the first name to include in the masked email addresses.
delimiter	Delimiter to separate the first name and the last name in masked email addresses. You can enter the following characters: . / - / _ If you do not want to separate the first name and last name in the email address, leave the delimiter blank.
lastNameColumn	Name of the column to use as the last part of the email name. The email name contains the masked value of the column you choose.
lastNameLength	The maximum number of the characters of the last name to include in the masked email address.
domainConstantValue	A domain string name to include in the masked email addresses.
useMaskFormat	Specifies if you want to use a mask format. Enter True or False.
maskFormat	Defines the type of character to substitute for each character in the source data. You can limit each character to an alphabetic numeric or alphanumeric character type. Use the following characters to define a mask format: A for alphabets, D for digits from 0 to 9, N for alphanumeric characters, X for any character, + for no masking, and R for the remaining characters in the string of any character type. R must appear at the end of the mask format.
useSrcFilter	Specifies if you want to skip masking some of the source characters. Enter True or False. If you enter True, you must specify the srcFilterOption and srcFilterStr parameters.
srcFilterOption	Defines a filter that determines which characters to mask in the source. Enter one of the following options: Mask Only. Mask only the characters that you configure as source filter characters. Mask All Except. Mask all characters except the characters you configure as source filter characters.
srcFilterStr	The source characters that you want to mask or the source characters that you want to skip masking. Each character is case-sensitive. Enter the source filter characters with no delimiters. For example, AaBbC.
usetargetFilter	Specifies if you want to limit the characters that can appear in the target. Enter True or False. If you enter True, you must specify the targetFilterOption and targetFilterStr parameters.
targetFilterOption	Defines a filter that determines which characters to use in target mask. Enter one of the following options: Use Only. Limit the target to the characters that you configure as target filter characters. Use All Except. Limits the target to all characters except the characters you configure as target filter characters.
targetFilterStr	The characters that you want to use in a mask or the characters that do not want to use in a mask, based on the values of target filter type. Each character is case-sensitive. Enter the target filter characters with no delimiters. For example, AaBbC.
useRange	Specifies whether you want to set a range for the masked data. Returns a value between the minimum and maximum values of the range depending on field precision. To define the range, configure the minimum and maximum ranges or configure a blurring range based on a variance from the original source value. You can configure ranges for string, date, and numeric data types.
minWidth	The minimum value of the range. You can specify the minimum width for date, string, and numeric data types.
maxWidth	The maximum value of the range. You can specify the minimum width for date, string, and numeric data types.
startDigit	Defines the first digit of the masked SIN.
startDigitValue	The value for the first digit of the masked SIN.
DicConn	The connection to the directory where the dictionary files are present. You must create a flat file connection with the directory that points to the dictionary files.
DicName	The dictionary that you want to select. The dictionary file must be present in the rdtmDir directory of the Secure Agent.
outputPort	The output port column from the dictionary.
useBlurring	Masks data with a variance of the source data if specify that you want to blur the target data.
blurringUnit	Unit of the date to apply the variance to. You can enter the following values: Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, or Second.
blurringOption	The unit of numeric blurring. Enter Fixed or Percent.
blurLow	The low boundary of the variance from the source. Enter the value for numeric and date data types.
blurHigh	The high boundary of the variance from the source. Enter the value for numeric and date data types.
expText	An expression that you can configure to mask the target data.
Preprocessing expression	An expression to define changes to make to the data before masking.
Preprocessing expression	An expression to define changes to make to the masked data before saving the data to the target.
