A Binary Lookup algorithm is much like the Secure Lookup algorithm but is used when entire files are stored in a specific column. This algorithm replaces objects that appear in object columns. For example, if a bank has an object column that stores images of checks, you can use a Binary Lookup algorithm to mask those images. The Delphix Engine cannot change data within images themselves, such as the names on X-rays or driver’s licenses. However, you can replace all such images with a new, fictional image. This fictional image is provided by the owner of the original data.
Creating a Binary Lookup algorithm via UI
-
At the top right of the Algorithms page, click + Algorithm.
-
Enter an Algorithm Name.
Info: This MUST be unique.
-
Enter a Description.
-
Select Binary Lookup as the Framework Name and click Next.
-
Select a Binary Lookup File on your filesystem by clicking the Select File button.
-
Click Next to verify details on the Summary step.
-
Click Save.
-
A maximum of 50 Lookup Files can be selected.
-
To upload multiple files, use the Select File button once for each file.
