Data Masker

Data Masker for SQL Server 7.0

Deprecation of UI command line

Using DataMasker.exe to automate masking sets runs has been removed in 7.0.0. To automate running of masking sets use DataMaskerCmdLine.exe instead.

To aid migration, Data Masker 7.0.0 includes an additional command line flag (-G) to DataMasker.exe to generate PARFILEs suitable for DataMaskerCmdLine.exe.
