Issue/Introduction

We are having an issue while masking data in oracle through FDM. We have unchecked the option for restartability; however FDM still trying add the column de_ident_ind .Please refer the attached screenshots.

FDM Version - 4.10.114

Environment

Release : 4.10

Cause

The global file is overriding the options that are set in FDM . 

Resolution

The options tab in FDM has these functionalities:

• UNIQUERESTARTCOLUMNS=(Y/N). When enabled, use unique restart column for each WHERE condition. Default = N
• UNIQUERESTARTCOULNSREQUIRED=(Y/N). When enabled, use unique restartcolumn for each WHERE condition is mandatory and masking won't start if not fulfilled. Default = N.
• RETSART = (Y/N). When enabled, restart mask from last fail point, requires varchar column de_ident_ind added to table(s) to be masked, set restart column in map to override this

 if Option file is set to N  and if you still see them enabled, verify if there is a global_options.txt  in the FDM directory. 

The global file may be set to Y  and that was the cause.  

Once we disabled these properties in global_options.txt , we were able to get it to work.
