    Hi Sourav, 

     

    Here is some documentation around performing in flight masking: Fast Data Masker and Transformation Maps - CA Test Data Manager - 4.3 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    Using Transformation Maps (In-flight Masking)
    In this case, you use Datamaker transformation maps and Subset scripts. You first define a transformation map (Oracle or MSSQL) in Datamaker, create masking functions for the columns you want to mask. You use the Subset interface to create the masked export scripts. These scripts perform masking as they export the source data to a dump file. The dump file (which contains masked data) is then imported into the target database. Testers can use the same database, which now includes masked data, for testing.

     

    If this is not what you are looking for or need more information, please leave a comment in the box below the documentation page so that we can work on more material for you. 

     

     

    Best regards,
