  • 1.  Is there any possibilty to do search and replace using seed list.

    Posted Feb 17, 2017 02:14 PM

    Data Before Masking                Date in seedlist

     

    AB X123                                        AB 123

    Bx 123                                           BB 123

    B 123                                             B H123

    L X123                                            L H123

                                                           BB X123

     

    Requirement :

    Wherever I found two words AB in column it should replace AB123 from seed list

                                  for B      it t should replace BH123 from seed list

                                  for Bx 123     it t should replace BB123 from seed list

     

    SO final Masked result should be 

     AB 123

    BB 123

    B H123

    L H123

    You can look at using PARTMASK or POSITIONMASK to do masking (search and replace) with the seedlist.

    But with PARTMASK and POSITIONMASK I don't have option to choose seedlist from database

     

    I am using Fast DataMasker -4.6.0.6

    Hi Abhishek,

     

     

    FDM does not currently provide the functionality you are requesting.

     

    You could use REGEXREPLACE to do something similar. You will find more information on this page: Masking Functions and Parameters - CA Test Data Manager - 4.0 - CA Technologies Documentation .

     

    If you still wish to pursue your original requirement, you will need to submit an enhancement request. To do so, please post an 'Idea' on the TDM Community page here: DevTest Community 

    (Content -> (Actions) -> Create an Idea)

     

    Please also include the business need for this enhancement, how soon you would need it, and the potential business impact if it is not provided.

     

    You and other community users will be able to 'vote' for this enhancement request. It will be reviewed by product managers at frequent intervals who will decide if the enhancement will be added to the product and when. You will be notified of the enhancement request's progress by the Idea post being marked as 'Under Review', 'Currently Planned' , or 'Delivered' by CA.

     

    Thanks,
