Automated masking is controlled by providing the appropriate command line options when the application starts. Only two options are required to automate the entire masking process - they are:

<Masking Set Filename>

The name of the Masking Set to load. This must be a full path including the drive and directory information. The Data Masker will not use "default" directories in command line mode.

-X

The signal to perform the masking and exit operation.

If the Masking Set filename is specified and the -X option is omitted then the Data Masker application will simply load the Masking Set and return to manual operating mode.

If the Masking Set filename contains spaces, remember to enclose it in quotes when placing it on the command line otherwise the Windows operating system will present it to the Data Masker software as multiple command line options.

Examples

Load an Masking Set file only

DataMasker.exe "C:\Program Files\Data Masker\DataMasker Sample Sets\sample2.dmset"

Load, Mask and Exit

DataMasker.exe -X "C:\Program Files\Data Masker\DataMasker Sample Sets\sample2.dmset"
