You can import and re-use a previously exported data masking definition saved as an XML file to the current Enterprise Manager repository. You also can import an Oracle-supplied data masking definition from the Software Library.
Importing a Previously Exported Masking Definition
Note the following advisory information:
The XML file format must be compliant with the masking definition XML format.
Verify that the name of the masking definition to be imported does not already exist in the repository, and the source database name identifies a valid Enterprise Manager target.
Verify that the value in the XML file to be imported refers to a valid database target.
From the Data Masking Definitions page, click Import.
The Import Masking Definition page appears.
Specify a name for the masking definition and select the ADM to associate with the template. The Reference Database is automatically provided.
Browse for the XML file, or specify the name of the XML file, then click Continue.
The Data Masking Definitions Page reappears and displays the imported definition in the table list for subsequent viewing and masking.
