How to mask a particular argument value when virtualizing a service?

[Varun Chand]

Hi,

Is there a way we can mask a particular argument when we virtualize a SOAP message using RR pair.

For example,

Payload : <get:number>123457899977864</get:number>
After virtualizing : <get:number>*************</get:number>

To my knowledge we don't have the functionality to mask data in the virtual service image.

The argumentation is that your virtual service image should never contain real data only made up data, if so then there's no need to mask it. Now in those cases where you create the virtual service from real production data then there is the process of de-identification (desensitization) which replaces sensitive information in your virtual service with random data. Have a look at: https://docops.ca.com/devtest-solutions/10-5/en/using/using-service-virtualization/using-devtest-workstation-with-service-virtualization/de-identifying-data
