How do we mask data through TDM Portal using pre-existing artifiacts from Fast Data Masker?

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

Build 4.9.91 repository: SQL Server

We have existing artifacts such as the masking CSV and Option files that we would like to be able to use? Is there a way to do this without using an FDM tile. We shouldn't have to go through all the steps in portal.

Environment

Release : 4.9

Component : CA Test Data Manager

Resolution

The best way is to initiate the Portal masking job from the REST API, referencing the FDM artifacts.

Otherwise, it's the manual process to set it up.
