Tokenization Configuration Overview

The tokenization configuration is a section in migration.properties and masking.properties files. It contains all the necessary information required for the tokenization of input data. For example, the name of the token vault that will receive the tokens for a column, token format that will be used to tokenize a column and whether the generated token will pass or fail luhn check.

A hidden parameter PreserveSpace has been introduced for File-to-File migration. If this parameter is enabled, the spaces in the plaintext value during tokenization are preserved. This parameter is not applicable for any of the flavors of bulk masking.

Note

To preserve spaces in the generated tokens during File-to-File migration, set the PreserveSpace=true in the migration.properties file.

If PreserveSpace parameter is enabled, spaces are preserved in the following scenarios:

If the plaintext value contains spaces at leading or trailing positions, the spaces are preserved in the generated tokens.
For example:
Plaintext Value Tokens
----356789------ ----184326------
If the plaintext value only contains spaces, the spaces are preserved in the generated tokens.
For example:
Plaintext Value Tokens
---------------- ----------------
Note
- In the above examples, - represents space.
- If the plaintext value is empty and the PreserveSpace parameter is enabled, the "Insert values cannot be empty" message is not displayed on the console.

Plaintext Value	Tokens
----356789------	----184326------

Plaintext Value	Tokens
----------------	----------------
