Documentation

Definition

Using the anonymization indicator, it is possible to determine whether the table content of a field is to be replaced at delivery by the string 'SAP'.

You can select the following delivery types:

• Installation:
  The field content is changed before the DB export to 'SAP'.
• Upgrade and Support Packages:
  The field content will not be changed in the system. Only the Upgrade and Support-Package data files get the anonymity-marked field contents.

Use

This function is available only for CHAR fields of the length 12 (as a rule, these data types are used for user names).

The field content is set to anonymous only for delivery transports.

Possible values:
    ' ' - No anonymization
    'X' - Anonymization

Default is 'no anonymization'.
