The Data Masking transformation returns an email address of random characters when it masks an email address.
For example, the Data Masking transformation can mask
Georgesmith@yahoo.com
as
KtrIupQAPyk@vdSKh.BICJ
.
When you use the email masking format, you must set the seed value. The seed value is a random number from 1 through 999 and is a starting point to generate masked values. You can enter a different seed value. Apply the same seed value to a column to return the same masked data values in different source data. For example, you have the same Cust_ID column in four tables. You want all of them to output the same masked values. Set all four columns to the same seed value.
