How to configure

To configure the generator, toggle the Consistency setting to indicate whether to make the generator consistent.

By default, the generator is not consistent.

If you enable consistency, then by default the generator is self-consistent. To make the generator consistent with another column, from the Consistent to dropdown list, select the column.

When the generator is self-consistent, then a given value in the source database is always mapped to the same value in the destination database.

When the generator is consistent with another column, then a given value for the other column in the source database always results in the same shipping container code value in the destination database. For example, a shipping container column is consistent with an owner column. Every instance of an owner column from the source database has the same shipping container value in the destination database.

If Structural data encryption is enabled, then to use it for this column, toggle Use data encryption process to the on position.
