Have tested out by adding some records into another PII Column which initially didn’t get classified as PII. Post re-scan it has worked.
Below were the 3 scenarios:
1) Global Classifier with No data in Column (NM_CNTRY) – Didn’t Pass
2) Project Custom Classifier with No data in Column (NM_CNTRY) – Didn’t Pass
3) Project Custom Classifier with data in Column (NM_CNTRY) – Passed
As suggested, added this property in the application.properties file, restarted TDM Portal service:
tdmweb.profiling.classifier.skipemptycolumnsoncolumnscans=false
Still, it didn't work as expected.
TDM Portal 4.11.1007.0
The property file entry tdmweb.profiling.classifier.skipemptycolumnsoncolumnscans=false , should have allowed to do pii scan for column type classifiers on columns with NO DATA in them.
But even after adding this property, the tagging does not work for columns with no data, which is not the expected behaviour.
The tagging works as expected if the column DOES HAVE data, issue is for columns without any data in them.
Patch TDMWeb-4.11.2032.0.zip and later resolved this issue.
