SAP BODS Data Mask Transformation:

Created a Data flow  with source-->Data Mask-->Target mapping.

Data Mask Transformation Properties :

Data Mask transform has 3 tabs 1.Input 2.Option 3.Output tabs

Input tab properties: –In input tab map the respective source columns accordingly

E.g: Mapped input accordingly...

ID-->GENARLA_DATA1

CC-->NUMARIC_DATA1 (as CC has numeric values and datatype is int)

EMAIL-->EMAIL1

LOC-->GENARLA_DATA1

Options tab properties: option tab allows to specify the masking options for each column and create as many as “mask out “by right click
and create duplicate Option.

Column assignment and specify the masking characters like as follows below

• Map the input Field –EMAIL (Browse the column name where you want mask)
• Starting position –END/START (means how you want to mask from start or end
• UnmaskedLength—length (how many characters you want to mask)
• Masking Character –Which character you want to use for masking

Perform the same steps for all required columns.

Output properties : Check the requires columns in output tab
