create

Description

Creates a new masking column in the specified masking policy. Use this operation to add parent columns only. It automatically adds the child columns from the associated sensitive data model or target database. If you provide the sensitiveTypeId attribute but not the maskingFormats attribute, it automatically assigns the default masking format associated with the specified sensitive type. Alternatively, if you provide the maskingFormats attribute, the specified masking formats are assigned to the column.

Using the maskingFormats attribute, you can assign one or more masking formats to a column. You need to specify a condition as part of each masking format. It enables you to do <a href=”https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/data-safe/udscs/conditional-masking.html”>conditional masking</a> so that you can mask the column data values differently using different masking conditions. A masking format can have one or more format entries. The combined output of all the format entries is used for masking. It provides the flexibility to define a masking format that can generate different parts of a data value separately and then combine them to get the final data value for masking.

You can use the maskingColumnGroup attribute to group the columns that you would like to mask together. It enables you to do <a href=”https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/data-safe/udscs/group-masking1.html#GUID-755056B9-9540-48C0-9491-262A44A85037”>group or compound masking</a> that ensures that the masked data across the columns in a group continue to retain the same logical relationship.

Usage

oci data-safe masking-column create [OPTIONS]

Required Parameters

--column-name [text]

The name of the database column. This attribute cannot be updated for an existing masking column. Note that the same name is used for the masking column. There is no separate displayName attribute for the masking column.

--masking-policy-id [text]

The OCID of the masking policy.

--object-name [text]

The name of the object (table or editioning view) that contains the database column. This attribute cannot be updated for an existing masking column.

--schema-name [text]

The name of the schema that contains the database column. This attribute cannot be updated for an existing masking column.

Optional Parameters

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--is-masking-enabled [boolean]

Indicates whether data masking is enabled for the masking column. Set it to false if you don’t want to mask the column.

--masking-column-group [text]

The group of the masking column. It’s a masking group identifier and can be any string of acceptable length. All the columns in a group are masked together to ensure that the masked data across these columns continue to retain the same logical relationship. For more details, check <a href=https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/data-safe/udscs/group-masking1.html#GUID-755056B9-9540-48C0-9491-262A44A85037>Group Masking in the Data Safe documentation.</a>

--masking-formats [complex type]

The masking formats to be assigned to the masking column. You can specify a condition as part of each masking format. It enables you to do <a href=”https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/data-safe/udscs/conditional-masking.html”>conditional masking</a> so that you can mask the column data values differently using different masking formats and the associated conditions. A masking format can have one or more format entries. The combined output of all the format entries is used for masking. It provides the flexibility to define a masking format that can generate different parts of a data value separately and then combine them to get the final data value for masking.

This option is a JSON list with items of type MaskingFormat. For documentation on MaskingFormat please see our API reference: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/datasafe/20181201/datatypes/MaskingFormat. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

The maximum time to wait for the work request to reach the state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--object-type [text]

The type of the object that contains the database column.

Accepted values are:

EDITIONING_VIEW, TABLE
--sensitive-type-id [text]

The OCID of the sensitive type to be associated with the masking column. Note that if the maskingFormats attribute isn’t provided while creating a masking column, the default masking format associated with the specified sensitive type is assigned to the masking column.

--wait-for-state [text]

This operation asynchronously creates, modifies or deletes a resource and uses a work request to track the progress of the operation. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the work request reaches a certain state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

Accepted values are:

ACCEPTED, CANCELED, CANCELING, FAILED, IN_PROGRESS, SUCCEEDED, SUSPENDED, SUSPENDING
--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the work request has reached the state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

Example using required parameter

Copy and paste the following example into a JSON file, replacing the example parameters with your own.

    oci data-safe masking-policy create --generate-param-json-input column-source > column-source.json

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration and appropriate security policies before trying the examples.
