Class CreateMaskingPolicyDetails

Details to create a new masking policy. Use either a sensitive data model or a reference target database to create your masking policy.
To use a sensitive data model as the source of masking columns, set the columnSource attribute to SENSITIVE_DATA_MODEL and provide the sensitiveDataModelId attribute. After creating a masking policy, you can use the AddMaskingColumnsFromSdm operation to automatically add all the columns from the associated sensitive data model. In this case, the target database associated with the sensitive data model is used for column and masking format validations.
You can also create a masking policy without using a sensitive data model. In this case, you need to associate your masking policy with a target database by setting the columnSource attribute to TARGET and providing the targetId attribute. The specified target database is used for column and masking format validations.
After creating a masking policy, you can use the CreateMaskingColumn or PatchMaskingColumns operation to manually add columns to the policy. You need to add the parent columns only, and it automatically adds the child columns (in referential relationship with the parent columns) from the associated sensitive data model or target database.

public class CreateMaskingPolicyDetails

Properties

ColumnSource

Declaration
[Required(ErrorMessage = "ColumnSource is required.")]
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "columnSource")]
public CreateColumnSourceDetails ColumnSource { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
CreateColumnSourceDetails
Remarks

Required

CompartmentId

Declaration
[Required(ErrorMessage = "CompartmentId is required.")]
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "compartmentId")]
public string CompartmentId { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The OCID of the compartment where the masking policy should be created.

Remarks

Required

DefinedTags

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "definedTags")]
public Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, object>> DefinedTags { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, object>>

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags Example: {"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}

Description

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "description")]
public string Description { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The description of the masking policy.

DisplayName

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "displayName")]
public string DisplayName { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The display name of the masking policy. The name does not have to be unique, and it's changeable.

FreeformTags

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "freeformTags")]
public Dictionary<string, string> FreeformTags { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Dictionary<string, string>

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags
Example: {"Department": "Finance"}

IsDropTempTablesEnabled

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "isDropTempTablesEnabled")]
public bool? IsDropTempTablesEnabled { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool?

Indicates if the temporary tables created during a masking operation should be dropped after masking. It's enabled by default. Set this attribute to false to preserve the temporary tables. Masking creates temporary tables that map the original sensitive data values to mask values. By default, these temporary tables are dropped after masking. But, in some cases, you may want to preserve this information to track how masking changed your data. Note that doing so compromises security. These tables must be dropped before the database is available for unprivileged users.

IsRedoLoggingEnabled

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "isRedoLoggingEnabled")]
public bool? IsRedoLoggingEnabled { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool?

Indicates if redo logging is enabled during a masking operation. It's disabled by default. Set this attribute to true to enable redo logging. By default, masking disables redo logging and flashback logging to purge any original unmasked data from logs. However, in certain circumstances when you only want to test masking, rollback changes, and retry masking, you could enable logging and use a flashback database to retrieve the original unmasked data after it has been masked.

IsRefreshStatsEnabled

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "isRefreshStatsEnabled")]
public bool? IsRefreshStatsEnabled { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool?

Indicates if statistics gathering is enabled. It's enabled by default. Set this attribute to false to disable statistics gathering. The masking process gathers statistics on masked database tables after masking completes.

ParallelDegree

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "parallelDegree")]
public string ParallelDegree { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

Specifies options to enable parallel execution when running data masking. Allowed values are 'NONE' (no parallelism), 'DEFAULT' (the Oracle Database computes the optimum degree of parallelism) or an integer value to be used as the degree of parallelism. Parallel execution helps effectively use multiple CPUs and improve masking performance. Refer to the Oracle Database parallel execution framework when choosing an explicit degree of parallelism.

PostMaskingScript

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "postMaskingScript")]
public string PostMaskingScript { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

A post-masking script, which can contain SQL and PL/SQL statements. It's executed after the core masking script generated using the masking policy. It's usually used to perform additional transformation or cleanup work after masking.

PreMaskingScript

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "preMaskingScript")]
public string PreMaskingScript { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

A pre-masking script, which can contain SQL and PL/SQL statements. It's executed before the core masking script generated using the masking policy. It's usually used to perform any preparation or prerequisite work before masking data.

Recompile

Declaration
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "recompile")]
[JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
public MaskingPolicy.RecompileEnum? Recompile { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
MaskingPolicy.RecompileEnum?

Specifies how to recompile invalid objects post data masking. Allowed values are 'SERIAL' (recompile in serial), 'PARALLEL' (recompile in parallel), 'NONE' (do not recompile). If it's set to PARALLEL, the value of parallelDegree attribute is used. Use the built-in UTL_RECOMP package to recompile any remaining invalid objects after masking completes.
