Data Tokenization via replication

JCJnr — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 13:25:39 GMT

Hi We have a requirement, to tokenize a specific column when the data is replicated from a source to target (In flight)

I have seen you can add "External API" custom code that you then can add the API call to Tokenize the data.

We will need to connect / get tokenized by a system called Voltage, but have no idea where to even start.

Sorry, I should have added that this is for "Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard" or PCI DSS standard

You probably should start with reaching out to Qlik Professional services. As this will not be a simple undertaking. I know from experience that Qlik-PS has looked at HP-Voltage integration options before. I've seen whitepapers but do not know what the outcome was.

Replicate does have an option for user provided function to ba called to process columns. This is a relatively complicated undertaking, not for the feeble. Again Qlik-PS is probably the best starting point. To familiarize yourself with the options a little bit, please check out the Qlik Replicate userguide about TRANSFORMATIONS and have a look in a Replicate installation sub-directory for an example API usage: \Attunity\Replicate\addons

hth,

Thanks Hein,

Yes I have looked at the Addons from the documentation, Maybe it is just me, but it is a bit unclear as to the exact way of doing things.. I most definitely will reach out to PS to get more info on the workings..

Do you have a link to the white papers perhaps.

Kind regards

Johann

I gave (Attunity at the time) internal presentations about this method but cannot find any recording or slidedeck at this point anymore. Simple functions are almost 'fun' I attached some C code with one original Replicate provided example, a hash function and a two string argument inspection examples.

The 'readme' in the addons directory while admittedly very minimal, along with the addons_def.json sample are enough to get a brave developer going making an example.

Integration with Voltage is probably several levels of complexity above that.

btw... the forum refused to add a C source copied to .TXT. I had to add some text before the code to pass the filters. Jeez.

fwiw,

Hein.
