Conditions on Watermarking
To embed a watermark, the following conditions must be met:
The policy must include at least one rule from the following list: Regular Expression Number Generator rule, Regular Expression Text Generator rule, or Hash Text rule.
The PDD must have been created with the Embed Watermarks option selected. This option is provided in the PDD creation dialogue.
Because of the way the watermark is embedded, the file must have a large enough number of rows to contain the watermark. As a rule, files larger than 15,000 rows, with enough unique values, can contain watermarks.
Privitar NOVLT does not currently support watermarking.
Note
If you select "Tokenize without a vault (use NOLVT)," the platform will not embed a watermark.
Warning
When running data flow or POD jobs, the PDD is still editable after you have processed data into that PDD. If watermarking was previously disabled, and you enable it after you processed data, this could make it harder to investigate the watermark when some of the data doesn’t have a watermark.
It is possible to embed watermarks into the output data when using data flow jobs, batch jobs, and POD jobs.
If the above conditions are met, each column mapped to a Regular Expression Text Generator rule, a Regular Expression Number Generator rule, or a Hash Text rule will contain a watermark when you run a job for that policy in the PDD.
