Running Batch Unmasking Jobs

Batch Unmasking jobs can be run from the Privitar User-interface and from the Automation API.

From the User-interface

To run a Batch Unmasking Job via the Privitar user interface:

  1. Select Protected Data from the Navigation sidebar.

    The Protected Data page is displayed, containing a list of the PDDs that have been created.

  2. Select the PDD by clicking on the name of the PDD in the PDD index listing.

    The Protected Data Domain Details window is displayed for the selected PDD.

  3. Select the Unmasking Jobs tab.

  4. Select the Unmasking job from the list of Jobs shown on the page.

  5. Select Run from the Actions list box.

    The Job will run and status updates for the Unmasking job will be displayed in the Protected Data Domain page.

From the Automation Rest API

An Unmasking Job can also be run from the Privitar Automation API.

For more information about the Automation API, see the Automation API Explorer in the APIs section of the Privitar User Guide in the Privitar UI application.

Some things to be aware of:

  • Note the Job ID displayed on the Unmasking Job. This is required to refer to the Unmasking Job from the REST API.

  • The API User making the API call must have appropriate Unmasking Job Permissions. (For more information, see Role Permissions.)

  • The status of running Unmasking Jobs are displayed on the Unmasking Jobs list, and can be monitored via the Unmasking Batch Job Run endpoint:

    GET endpoint (/unmasking-jobs/batch/{id}/runs/{run-id})
