Consider the following example:

The source data contains

First Name

and

Last Name

columns that you need to mask to ensure that you mask the full name in the target data.

You can use the following methods to generate the masked output:

Run a
masking
task on
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
.
Run a
mapping
task that contains a data masking transformation on
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
.
Run a mapping that contains a data masking transformation on
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
Run a data masking plan in Test Data Management.
Run a PowerCenter mapping that contains a data masking transformation.

Perform the following high-level tasks to generate the masked output:

Use the Substitution Name masking rule to mask the
First Name
column. Set the Repeatable option to ON. Enter a seed value.
Use the Substitution Last Name masking rule to mask the
Last Name
column. Set the Repeatable option to ON. Enter a seed value.
Use the default dictionaries available with the setup. Do not make changes to the dictionaries.

When you run the

masking

task, mapping, or

mapping

task on

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

, Test Data Management workflow, or PowerCenter mapping to generate output, you generate the same masked output for the same source data.
