The schema information is stored in a separate schema file (given the .schema extension) and associated with the Masking Set. This avoids the need to download the schema information each time the Data Masker loads the Masking Set. More information on the structure of Masking Sets can be found in the Data Masker Masking Set Reference help file.
Important Note: If the download of the table and index information seems to take a long time try setting the Data Dictionary Optimizer Hint on the Rule Tools Tab before activating this dialog box.
The Get Tables from Schema dialog box is very easy to use. There are three large buttons located centrally on the dialog box. Only one will be active at any one time. Press the Get the Tables button to download the table names from the remote schema. Once the tables have downloaded select the tables, by clicking on them with the mouse, you wish the Data Masker application to know about and then press the Make Selected Tables Visible button. The progress bars at the top of the dialog box indicate the progress of the download and the Stop button can be used at any time to interrupt a download in progress.
