Creating a Data Flow Job
A Data Flow Job contains a reference to a Policy and a Protected Data Domain. It enables a Policy to be applied to a flow of data, publishing an output flow.
Before creating a Data Flow Job you need to ensure that the Policy that will be used by the Job already exists and is not in Draft.
To create a Data Flow Job, follow these steps:
Select Jobs from the Navigation sidebar. The Jobs page is displayed.
Select the Data Flow Jobs tab.
Choose the Environment from the Environment list box.
The chosen Environment must contain the data to be processed by the Policy, and will also be the destination of the processed data.
Click on Create New Data Flow Job. The New Data Flow Job dialog box is displayed.
Enter a name for the Job in the Name box.
This name is used to identify the Job in the Privitar user interface and via Automation APIs.
Select a compatible Policy from the Policy list box.
A compatible Policy must have the following features:
Use compatible masking rules. (For more information, see Masking Rules.)
Use Generalization strategies that are supported for this type of Job. (That is, not enforcing k-anonymity).
Use a Schema with one table.
The Allow local token caching check box is enabled by default.
Note
When using consistent tokenization, a connection is made to the configured Token Vault to read/write tokens. To improve performance, a local in-memory cache is used. Caching can be disabled by un-checking this box, but this will have a detrimental effect on the processing performance.
Click on Next. The dialog box is updated with details about the PDD to be included in the Job.
Select an existing Protected Data Domain from the list or select Add to a new Protected Data Domain to create a new PDD.
For more information about creating PDDs, see Creating a PDD.
Click on Next to create the Job.
The Job appears in the index of Jobs on the Jobs page and the Jobs Details page for the Job contains the Job ID that can be used to reference the Job.
