Using the Business Glossary to apply a data masking policy

If you have the InfoSphere Business Glossary client installed on Optim designer, you can use the Glossary Explorer to apply a data masking policy to a column map.

To apply a data masking policy:

  1. Open the Glossary Explorer by clicking Window > Show View > Other to open the Show View window. From the Show View window, expand the Business Glossary folder, click Glossary Explorer, and then click OK. The Business Glossary view opens.
  2. Expand a folder in the Directory Explorer that contains the column map, expand the Column Maps node, and double-click the column map. The Column Map Editor opens.
  3. In the Business Glossary view, click a policy and drag it to the column that will use the policy. You can also click a classification and drag it to a column to apply both the classification and the associated policy. The policy name appears in the associated column and the policy editor opens in the Column Map Editor.
  4. Depending on the policy, do one of the following steps:

    Select the policy expression tab and edit the function expression.

    Select an option tab and select options for the policy.

  5. Save the column map.
