How to concatenate masked xml tags in FastDataMasker during xml making?

How to concatenate already individually masked xml tags in FastDataMasker during xml making?

[Sameer_Chandragiri]

Hi Manik,

Would you be able to provide an example so that we understand your requirement clearly?

 

Are you masking multiple tags in an XML column/file by providing the XPath element for each of the tags - and then you wish to mask a different column with concatenation of the tags that were masked?

An example with the sample data along with the masking rules will be very helpful to assist you further.

 

Thanks,

Sameer

Hi Sameer,

Yes. I am masking mutiple tags in a xml file using the Xpath element for each of the tags. I have to make sure the concatenation of the tags Title and FirstName should come in FormatName tag.Please consider the below example for making the above statement clear :

 

Before masking

---------------------

<CustomerName>

<Title> Mr. </Title>

<FirstName> Manik </FirstName>

<FormatName>Mr. Manik </FormatName>

</CustomerName>

 

After masking

-----------------------

<CustomerName>

<Title> Mr. </Title>

<FirstName> Sameer</FirstName>

<FormatName>Mr. Sameer </FormatName>

</CustomerName>

 

Thanks for your help.

Manik

Hi Manik,

 

Thanks for the details. I have confirmed that this is currently not supported in the product. We are not able to specify XPATH as parameters to the CONCAT function, expecting it to replace the XPATH with the element value.
