Hi All,
Since Planning models require an Odata connection to HANA Cloud which uses a generated username and secret key to connect, data masking functionality doesn't work when data is sent to SAC planning leading to sensitive data getting exposed. Since live connections aren't available, what's the path to handling sensitive data here?
Take for example, if I had an Employee dimension that was using their SIN as the member ID, so I have the following two employees with their corresponding salaries and hire dates:
If this data was masked to only show the last 2 digits of the SIN and loaded into SAC, then the ODATA packet would look something like:
"Data":[{
"id":*******89,
"HireDate":"20230401",
"Salary":100000
},
{
"id":*******89,
"HireDate":"20230601",
"Salary":150000
}]
If the Import Job is setup to allow for new members to be added on the fly then the result in SAC would be to create a new Employee with ID *******89, and then on 20230401 it would add 100000 to the Salary measure and on 20230601 it would add another 150000. So the full year value for this new employee would be 250000. This is just an example, it may not be what you're trying to do but I hope it highlights the issue of trying to LOAD masked data into SAC.
Again, if you can provide more details on what data you want to mask I can probably provide a more concise answer.
Regards,
Sean
