Previously, the maximum port size for a dictionary file was 256 characters.
Sequential Number Generation
Effective in version 9.5.1 HotFix 2, the Data Masking transformation can sequentially generate numbers to retrieve a dictionary row.
Previously, the Data Masking transformation generated a number to retrieve a dictionary row by the serial number.
Bigint Datatype
Effective in version 9.5.1 HotFix 1, the Data Masking transformation includes bigint values for the random, key, substitution, expression, and no masking types. The bigint datatype has a precision of 19 and supports values between -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 and 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
Previously, you could use the bigint datatype for the expression and no masking types in the Data Masking transformation.
