Provision a VDB to Prepare to Configure a Masking Job
In order to prepare data for masking, you must first provision a virtual databases (VDBs) in the Delphix Engine. This database will be used to configure the masking job. If you would like to test the functionality of the masking job while preserving the original data in the VDB, you may provision a second VDB to validate against. To do so, repeat these steps.
- Login to the Delphix Management application.
- Click Manage.
- Select Datasets.
- Select a dSource.
Select the TimeFlow tab and select a dSource snapshot.
Click the Provision VDB icon.
Review the information for Installation Home, Database Unique Name, SID, and Database Name. Edit as necessary.
Review the Mount Base and Environment User. Edit as necessary.
If you want to use login credentials on the target environment that are different from the login credentials associated with the Environment User, select Specify Privileged Credentials.
Click Next.
Select a Target Group for the VDB and a Snapshot Policy for the VDB.
Click Next.
Specify any Pre or Post Scripts that should be used during the provisioning process.
Click Advanced to select Oracle Node Listeners or enter any VDB configuration settings or file mappings.
Click Next.
Click Submit.
