KBA# 8167
Issue
Oracle masking may fail at the end or towards the end of masking with the following error:
2021-09-17 22:21:32,872 [pool-5-thread-7] INFO c.d.d.m.t.RunServiceImpl - [JOB_ID_202_707] 2021/09/17 22:21:32 - Execute_Enable_Constraints_Script.0 - Couldn't execute SQL: ALTER TABLE "DB"."TABLE" ENABLE CONSTRAINT "SYS_C5987157"

This occurs when the masking engine is attempting to enable the constraint at the end of the masking job.

Resolution
- The SQL the masking engine runs will be in the logs. Try manually disabling and enabling on the database.
In the above example the SQL statement would be:
ALTER TABLE "DB"."TABLE" ENABLE CONSTRAINT "SYS_C5987157" - Check what the constraint does and why it failed. Does an algorithm need to be changed?
- Try removing and adding the constraint back with Pre and Post scripts added to the masking job.
