The Data Masking transformation parses a URL by searching for the ‘://’ string and parsing the substring to the right of it. The source URL must contain the ‘://’ string. The source URL can contain numbers and alphabetic characters.
The Data Masking transformation does not mask the protocol of the URL. For example, if the URL is http://www.yahoo.com, the Data Masking transformation can return http://MgL.aHjCa.VsD/. The Data Masking transformation can generate a URL that is not valid.
Note: The Data Masking transformation always returns ASCII characters for a URL.
