Disables Dynamic Data Masking (DDM) for a database.

Syntax

proutil db-name -C disableddm [-U userid -P password]

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the database you are using.
-U userid -P password

Specifies the user ID and password of an authenticated security administrator.

Notes

  • To disable DDM, the database must be in the DDM-enabled state.
  • Disable operation reverts the database to a state prior to DDM enablement and clients earlier than OpenEdge 12.8 that do not support DDM can now access and open the database.
  • DISABLEDDM executes only in the following scenarios:
    • Only the ABL security administrator or SQL DBA can disable DDM. There must be no remaining DDM administrators for the database. If any DDM administrators are found, DISABLEDDM exits with an error.
    • The database must not have any masks or authorization tags defined, otherwise DISABLEDDM exits with an error.
    • The database may or may not be in a DDM-active state.
  • Successful execution of DISABLEDDM removes the DDM feature bit from your database.
  • After you disable DDM, the PROUTIL DESCRIBE qualifier does not report DDM in the list of enabled features.
  • DISABLEDDM is an auditable event if your database is enabled and configured for auditing.
