    In GT Subset, after doing Subset, the extract is saved in Repository. While I am trying to save the export and import file,

    "Options file contain Error" pops-up. And the subset records are not getting reflected in the database.

    Hi Reshma,

    Thank you for the error message.  Can I get a screenshot of the options you have set?  Can I get the options file that you save?  Since you do file exporting, I am assuming the error occurs on import.   Do you do any file manipulation before importing?  If so, may I also have that file?  Can you describe your process of creating the Fast Data Masker Options and Masking CSV file? i.e. we create it on a windows system, edit the files to work in a production Windows environment, import the files and get the error.

    Cheers!
    Les.

    Hi Reshma,

    The reason for the 20 questions is that I need to get a firm understanding of the process.  Shooting from the hip, I would have to say that there are two possibilities for the error. 

    1. You are editing the file and the formatting gets corrupted - i.e. CR/LF gets turned into a CR, or you edit the file and what you put in is not UPPERCASE, or data is left out. 
    2. You are moving between systems and the file becomes corrupted - i.e. FTP to another system and the file is corrupted due to incorrect parameters.

    Cheers!

    Hi Les

     

     

    I have attached the screenshot of the error message. The error happened while I was trying to save the subset extract with the Action Name.

     

     

    And I also want to know what option file it refers to.

    Hi Reshma,

    We are getting closer.  Can you please take me step by step for what you place in the options, how you save it, etc.? Ad Docsx with screenshots would do.   Are you sure you have write/create privileges for the folder you are attempting to save to?

    Cheers!

    Hi Reshma,

    I do agree with Taylor.  We can play 20 questions, but a quick WebEx would probably resolve this issue through the Support channels.  Please open a case.
