Data Privacy Management

This section describes new Data Privacy Management features in version 10.4.1.1.

Added Support for Apache Cassandra NoSQL Database

You can choose the NoSQL category from the category type to create a data store that connects to an Apache Cassandra database. You can use the data store in scans to perform domain discovery.

Exact Matching in Subject Registry Search, Index, and Match Configuration

Effective in version 10.4.1.1, you can configure search, index, and match rule types to use Exact matching. When you use Exact matching for indexes, in searches, or in finding matches, the task takes less time to complete.

You can use the Exact value for SearchType, IndexType, and MatchType fields in a match configuration.

If you configure Exact matching for indexing, configure the IgnoreNullEmptyValues property to determine whether to ignore null or empty values during a Link Subjects scan.

For information about how to configure Exact matching, see the Informatica Data Privacy Management Administrator Guide.

Incremental Subject Registry Scans

Effective in version 10.4.1.1, you can configure a Subject Registry scan to be incremental on repeat one-time scans and recurrent scans.

An incremental scan considers changed records from the last scan run time, and updates the results instead of completely scanning all records.

For information about how to configure a Subject Registry scan to be incremental on repeat or recurrent scans, see the Informatica Data Privacy Management User Guide and Informatica Data Privacy Management Administrator Guide.

New Job Type for Privacy Dashboard Data Update

Effective in version 10.4.1.1, a Subject Registry master scan job triggers a new Privacy Dashboard job when it completes.

The Privacy Dashboard job verifies the changes in the Subject Registry HBase database and updates the Privacy dashboard data that you view when you refresh the dashboard.

The separate job ensures the separation of the scan task and the refresh of the data on the Privacy dashboard.

You cannot manually trigger, pause, or stop a Privacy Dashboard job.

For information about Privacy Dashboard jobs, see the Informatica Data Privacy Management User Guide.

Subject Registry Search and Scan Fields

Effective in version 10.4.1.1, you can configure fields for use in Subject Registry scans, searches, or both.

You might want to include fields in a scan but not have the fields appear on the Subject Registry search and details pages.

You can include the UsedIn property in a MatchConfiguration for an entity to determine whether the fields appear in Subject Registry searches, scans, or both.

For information about how to configure the property, see the Informatica Data Privacy Management Administrator Guide.

Support for the Informatica Discovery Agent on Windows

Effective in version 10.4.1.1, you can use the Informatica Discovery Agent to create an agent on Windows machines.

Use the Informatica Discovery Agent to run domain discovery on unstructured sources and Subject Registry scans.

For information about how to install and use the agent in scans, see the Informatica Data Privacy Management User Guide.
