Masking Components

Masking components are the policies and masking rules in a data masking operation. When you create a plan for a data masking operation, select the data masking components that you want to include in the workflow.
When you run a data masking operation, you can restrict the masking operation to some of the masking rules instead of applying all of the masking rules. You can choose the policies and masking rules that you want to test.
The Masking Components dialog box shows the policies and rules in the project. Select the policies and rules that you want to apply in the masking operation. The PowerCenter Integration Service performs masking with the components that you select. You can disable and enable masking for specific columns in a workflow run when you configure the plan criteria.
