Data Masker Rule Controllers
The function of a Rule Controller is to define the SQL Server login and database in which a collection of masking rules will run. Without a Rule Controller, the masking rules would have no knowledge or ability to connect to any SQL Server database. Consequently, a viable masking set always requires at least one Rule Controller and can contain more than one. Masking rules must always have a Rule Controller.
Rule Controllers are independent of each other. If there are multiple Rule Controllers defined for a masking set, each Rule Controller can be configured to connect to the same SQL Server Login and database or entirely different ones.
The execution order of masking rules is always the visible order in which they are presented on the Build Masking Rules of the Data Masker Client software. It is possible to move rules between Rule Controllers by dragging and dropping them - however, care must be taken to ensure that the new Rule Controller actually has the ability to modify the table in question.
