File Name (FileNameGenerator)

The File Name generator scrambles characters, but preserves formatting and keeps the file extension intact.

Link object structure

The File Name generator does not support linking. It can be self-consistent, but not consistent with another column. You cannot configure differential privacy.

The metadata object is populated from the BaseMetadata object.

There is no generator-specific configuration.

{
  "schema": "string",
  "table": "string",
  "column": "string",
  "path": "string",  //JSON fields only
  "dataType": "string",  //MongoDB, Amazon DynamoDB, and JSON fields only
  "metadata": {
    "presetId": "string",
    "generatorId": "FileNameGenerator",
    "isConsistent": boolean,
    "encryptionProcessor": "x-on", //To use configured Structural data encryption
    "customValueProcessor": "string"  //If custom value processor applied
  }
}

Example replacement

In this example replacement for the File Name generator, consistency is enabled.

{
  "name": "data_file",
  "schema": "public",
  "table": "products",
  "links": [
    {
      "schema": "public",
      "table": "products",
      "column": "data_file",
      "metadata": {
        "presetId": "FileNameGenerator",
        "generatorId": "FileNameGenerator",
        "isConsistent": true
      }
    }
  ]
