Muti Tenant

The Multi Tenant feature in Masking enables existing Rule Sets to be reused to mask identical schemas via different connectors. When enabled, the connector can be selected at job execution time.

This feature is also required when creating a masked virtual database (VDB).

Using the UI

Create/Edit

Below is an example creating a Masking Job with the Multi Tenant feature enabled:

  1. Enter job name using free form format.
  2. Select Masking Method In-Place.
  3. Select the Multi Tenant checkbox.
  4. Select Rule Set – use existing Rule Set.
  5. Click Save.

Note

Note:

 Prior to running the masking job, the Target Environment and Target Connector must be configured. 

Using the API

Create/Edit

An example of the API JSON can be found below:

{  "jobName": "Tbl_Mask",
   "rulesetId": 1,
   "rulesetType": "table",
   ...
   "multiTenant": true,
}

Execution

An example of executing a job with Multi Tenant enabled is shown below: 

  • The ID for the Target Connector to use is required to execute the job. 
{
  "jobId": 1,
  "targetConnectorId": 1
}

 

If the Target Connector detail is not provided, the following error is shown:

{   "errorMessage": "Missing target connector information for multi-tenant job" }

Using Masked vDBs

The Delphix Continuous Data Engine (formerly Virtualization Engine) will automatically create the Connector and use this Connector when provisioning the Masked vDB. After execution, the created Connector will be automatically removed.

Note

Note:

 To Fetch Masking jobs, the job must have 'Multi Tenant' enabled.
