Using a mandatory repository
A mandatory repository identifies resources that have templates or views that will be used to anonymize or scramble the data.
- The edit and view functions in the File Manager Base component and the FM/Db2 component.
- The browse and edit functions in the FM/IMScomponent.
Dynamic scrambling
If the corresponding template or view contains scrambling definitions, then the data will be scrambled before it is displayed. Unselected field values will be initialized to zero or blank depending on the field type. For edit or view sessions these fields are protected, and insert, repeat, and delete commands are unavailable. Only formatted views of the data are available. This provides the capability to scramble or hide sensitive information for certain user groups when the data is accessed using File Manager.
The TESTMASK command can be issued on the View or Edit entry panel. This command toggles the scrambling option, which will force the usage of the template and restrict the function to view or browse dialogs.
