NAME

DESCRIPTION

To use a sensitive data model as the source of masking columns, set the columnSource attribute to SENSITIVE_DATA_MODEL and provide the sensitiveDataModelId attribute. After creating a masking policy, you can use the AddMaskingColumnsFromSdm operation to automatically add all the columns from the associated sensitive data model. In this case, the target database associated with the sensitive data model is used for column and masking format validations.

You can also create a masking policy without using a sensitive data model. In this case, you need to associate your masking policy with a target database by setting the columnSource attribute to TARGET and providing the targetId attribute. The specified target database is used for column and masking format validations.

After creating a masking policy, you can use the CreateMaskingColumn or PatchMaskingColumns operation to manually add columns to the policy. You need to add the parent columns only, and it automatically adds the child columns (in referential relationship with the parent columns) from the associated sensitive data model or target database.

USAGE

oci data-safe masking-policy create [OPTIONS]

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

The OCID of the compartment where the masking policy should be created.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>

Example:

{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

The description of the masking policy.

The display name of the masking policy. The name does not have to be unique, and it’s changeable.

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>

Example:

{"Department": "Finance"}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

Indicates if the temporary tables created during a masking operation should be dropped after masking. It’s enabled by default. Set this attribute to false to preserve the temporary tables. Masking creates temporary tables that map the original sensitive data values to mask values. By default, these temporary tables are dropped after masking. But, in some cases, you may want to preserve this information to track how masking changed your data. Note that doing so compromises security. These tables must be dropped before the database is available for unprivileged users.

Indicates if redo logging is enabled during a masking operation. It’s disabled by default. Set this attribute to true to enable redo logging. By default, masking disables redo logging and flashback logging to purge any original unmasked data from logs. However, in certain circumstances when you only want to test masking, rollback changes, and retry masking, you could enable logging and use a flashback database to retrieve the original unmasked data after it has been masked.

Indicates if statistics gathering is enabled. It’s enabled by default. Set this attribute to false to disable statistics gathering. The masking process gathers statistics on masked database tables after masking completes.

The maximum time to wait for the work request to reach the state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

Specifies options to enable parallel execution when running data masking. Allowed values are ‘NONE’ (no parallelism), ‘DEFAULT’ (the Oracle Database computes the optimum degree of parallelism) or an integer value to be used as the degree of parallelism. Parallel execution helps effectively use multiple CPUsi and improve masking performance. Refer to the Oracle Database parallel execution framework when choosing an explicit degree of parallelism.

A post-masking script, which can contain SQL and PL/SQL statements. It’s executed after the core masking script generated using the masking policy. It’s usually used to perform additional transformation or cleanup work after masking.

A pre-masking script, which can contain SQL and PL/SQL statements. It’s executed before the core masking script generated using the masking policy. It’s usually used to perform any preparation or prerequisite work before masking data.

Specifies how to recompile invalid objects post data masking. Allowed values are ‘SERIAL’ (recompile in serial), ‘PARALLEL’ (recompile in parallel), ‘NONE’ (do not recompile). If it’s set to PARALLEL, the value of parallelDegree attribute is used.

This operation asynchronously creates, modifies or deletes a resource and uses a work request to track the progress of the operation. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the work request reaches a certain state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

Accepted values are:

ACCEPTED, CANCELED, CANCELING, FAILED, IN_PROGRESS, SUCCEEDED, SUSPENDED, SUSPENDING

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the work request to see if it has reached the state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration <https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliinstall.htm#configfile> and appropriate security policies <https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/Concepts/policygetstarted.htm> before trying the examples.
