API calls for creating and running masking jobs

Below are examples of requests you might enter and responses you might receive from the Masking API client. For commands specific to your masking engine, work with your interactive client at http://<myMaskingEngine>/masking/api-client/

In all code examples, replace <myMaskingEngine> with the hostname or IP address of your virtual machine.

HTTPS (SSL/TLS) is recommended, but for explanatory purposes these examples use insecure HTTP.

Creating a masking job

Object references you will need:

  • The ID of the ruleset for which you wish to create the masking job

REQUEST 

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept:
application/json' --header 'Authorization:
e23bad24-8760-4091-a131-34f235d9b2d6' -d '{ "jobName":
"some_masking_job", "rulesetId": 7, "jobDescription": "This example
illustrates a MaskingJob with just a handful of the possible fields set.
It is meant to exemplify a simple JSON body that can be passed to the
endpoint to create a MaskingJob.", "feedbackSize": 100000,
"onTheFlyMasking": false }'
'http://<myMaskingEngine>/masking/api/masking-jobs'

RESPONSE 

{ "jobId": 1, "jobName": "some_masking_job", "rulesetId": 7,
"createdBy": "Axistech", "createdTime": "2017-07-04T00:31:00.952+0000",
"environmentId": 2, "feedbackSize": 100000, "jobDescription": "This
example illustrates a MaskingJob with just a handful of the possible
fields set. It is meant to exemplify a simple JSON body that can be
passed to the endpoint to create a MaskingJob.", "maxMemory": 1024,
"minMemory": 1024, "multiTenant": false, "numInputStreams": 1,
"onTheFlyMasking": false }
The response includes the ID of the newly created job (“jobId”).

Running a masking job

Create a new execution of a masking job.

Object references you will need:

  • The ID of the job you want to run

REQUEST 

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept:
application/json' --header 'Authorization:
e23bad24-8760-4091-a131-34f235d9b2d6' -d '{ "jobId": 1 }'
'http://<myMaskingEngine>/masking/api/executions'

RESPONSE 

{ "executionId": 1, "jobId": 1, "status": "RUNNING"}

Checking the status of a masking job

Object references you will need:

  • The ID of the execution you want to check (IN THE PATH)

This execution id (1, in this example) is included in the PATH for this operation, NOT the payload.

REQUEST 

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization:
8935f7f7-6de6-40ba-80d8-d8956b71248b'
'http://<myMaskingEngine>/masking/api/executions/1'

RESPONSE 

{
  "executionId": 1,
  "jobId": 1,
  "status": "SUCCEEDED",
  "rowsMasked": 1000,
  "rowsTotal": 1000,
  "startTime": "2019-02-14T21:51:13.253+0000",
  "endTime": "2019-02-14T21:51:54.956+0000"}

Retrieving execution events related to a masking job

Object references you will need:

  • The ID of the execution you want to check (as a URL parameter).

This execution id (1, in this example) is specified as a URL parameter for this operation.

The execution-events endpoint returns execution events for a specified job execution. These execution events report failures or warnings associated with the masking job execution. NOT specifying the execution in the URL parameter will retrieve all execution events for all masking jobs.

REQUEST 

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization:
8935f7f7-6de6-40ba-80d8-d8956b71248b'
'http://<myMaskingEngine>/masking/api/execution-events?execution_id=1&page_number=1'

RESPONSE

eventType can be JOB_ABORTED, UNMASKED_DATA, MASKING_FALLBACK or FILE_PATTERN_NO_MATCH, the last of which is new as of 21.0.0.0. New execution event types are subject to be added in any Delphix Engine release. New execution event types will be specified in the Release Notes of the release in which it was introduced.
If custom scripts are being used to process execution events by type, they must be adjusted accordingly to account for new execution event types.

Retrieving non-conformant data samples associated with an execution Event

Object references you will need:

  • The ID(s) of the execution event(s) you want to check (as one or more URL parameters).

    This execution event id (1, in this example) is specified as a URL parameter for this operation.

The non-conformant-data-sample endpoint returns non-conformant data samples for a specified job execution event. These non-conformant data samples will report the data patterns that caused the non-conformant data execution event to help identify why data is not getting masked. NOT specifying an execution event in the URL parameter will retrieve all non-conformant data samples events for all masking jobs.

REQUEST 

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization:
8935f7f7-6de6-40ba-80d8-d8956b71248b'
'http://<myMaskingEngine>/masking/api/non-conformant-data-sample?execution_event_id=1&page_number=1'
