Creating and Editing a Stable UUID Transformation

A Stable UUID transformation returns a unique output value for each input value by encrypting the input value. The encryption is "stable" in the sense that for the same input value, the same output value will always be generated.

Prerequisites

  • You must have Manage Data Mappings permission.
  • A syntactic mapping should have already been created.

Creating a Stable UUID Transformation

To create this transformation, complete the following steps.

Step 1: Open the Transformations Panel

  1. In the Syntactic Mappings page, choose the mapping you want to edit.
  2. Click the Edit Pencil in the Transformation field for the entry you would like to edit transformations for. 
  3. The Transformations Panel will appear. Click the Add Transformation button.
  4. Click the dropdown menu to select the desired transformation type.

Step 2: Save the Transformation Configuration

  1. Note the Source Input and Target Output. It should reflect what you already chose in the syntactic mapping entry.
  2. There is no additional configuration required for the Stable UUID transformation.
  3. When complete, click the Save button.

Ordering Transformations

When code runs, configured transformations are executed one after another.  If you want to change the order of transformation execution for specific syntactic mapping entries, complete the following steps.

  1. In the Syntactic Mapping page, choose the mapping you want to modify.
  2. Select the Edit Pencil in the Transformation field for the entry you want to edit. The Transformations  Panel will appear.

  4. When done, click Save at the bottom of the page.
