The Oracle NMS obfuscate program is a command line utility that allows an NMS administrator to obscure specific sensitive customer and/or crew member data for inactive records in the Oracle NMS RDBMS. Records that may be obfuscated include names, addresses, phone numbers, customer comments and messages.
The obfuscate utility uses the following options:
obfuscate -days <number of days>
-crew <crew key>
-customer <account number>
[-replaceString <replacement word(s)>]
At least one of [-crew, -customer, -days] must be specified.
Option
Description
-replaceString

-crew
The crews.crew_key to obfuscate
-customer
The ces_customers.account_number to obscure
-days
Obscure all crew and customer records that are at least this number of days old
-debug

The AuditLog application works with the scripts and applications defined above to keep a persistent record in the database of the data manipulation activities that have been going on when a customer uses any of these scripts or applications. The information is stored in the MODEL_AUDIT_LOG database table and can be useful when trying to help support a customer with corrupted data by helping to provide a better scenario of the activities that might reproduce the problem.
