Mask Data Service

[smackie]

I am trying to use the mask data service; however it appears to not be working at this time. Also, it would great if you could enter parameters to the service to limit what get masked, i.e. I want to mask the account number but I want the last four to show, so I would set the text to the account number but have the ability to tell it not mask the last four digits.

Hello Sheryl, I have created task 10498 to address the MaskData service. This post will get updated when a revision is out for this feature.

These features have been implemented as of DesignTime Revision 2309 and RunTime Revision 991.

Hi Justin,

I just tried the mask data service in the canvas and nothing happened still is this feature only available to test via the webpage? I noticed that when I use my webpage that the data is masked as setup, but just wanted to verify that this service will not be available to test via canvas.

Hello Sheryl,

I am looking into it and will fix the issue you are experiencing.

Hello Sheryl,

The MaskData service definitely should work when running it in the canvas. Here is how I setup a test:

Are you able to elaborate on how you have yours setup?

Hi Justin,

I was trying to enter text in the text field of the service and then run the mask service which results in no output. I have since simply setup the service as desired and ran it through the progress and I see it works great.

Hello Sheryl, RunTime Revision 996 will fix your issue of the mask service returning no output and should fix any issue of running it in the canvas.
