Partition manager rules allow Data Masker to rules to be run in parallel across each partition of a partitioned table. Data Masker will automatically find a table's partitions at run time.

Creating a partition manager rule

Partition manager rules cannot be created directly. To create a rule that utilizes the partition manager, you must first create a rule that supports being run over multiple partitions. These are:

• Substitution rule
• XML masker rule
• Row-internal sync rule

To convert from a regular rule to a partition manager rule, select the "Change Members" tab and click "Convert to Split Partition Mgr. Rule". The original rule becomes a template to run against each partition.

Reverting to a regular rule from a partition manager rule

Partition manager rules can be reverted to regular rules by editing the partition manager rule and clicking "Undo Partition Split" from its edit window.

Editing a partition managers template rule

A partition manager's template rules cannot be edited directly. To make changes to the template rule, first revert it to a regular rule.
