Data Masking

These Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management business processes support the masking of application data to ensure data privacy. This feature is especially useful when you need to hide application data before submitting snapshots to Oracle for troubleshooting.

• Planning application types including Custom, FreeForm , Planning Modules, Predictive Cash Forecasting, Strategic Workforce Planning, and Sales Planning.
• FreeForm
• Financial Consolidation and Close
• Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management
• Tax Reporting

You use the maskData EPM Automate command to hide sensitive data from application developers or from Oracle support when submitting snapshots. When executed, the command permanently replaces existing application data with randomized values, making it meaningless. This action cannot be reversed. If you create a snapshot after running the maskData command, the snapshot will contain only masked data.

If you need to submit a masked snapshot to Oracle but later restore the original data, you must do so from a backup or the daily maintenance snapshot created before masking.

Masking data helps you satisfy the requirement of not allowing your data to be visible to any other organization (in this case, Oracle).
