Executing package

The package created in BizDataX Designer can be executed from the BizDataX Designer itself, from the command line, or published to BizDataX Portal and executed there.

Package execution (BizDataX Designer)

In Visual Studio, click Debug -> Start Without Debugging (or CTRL+F5). A console window will appear and, within seconds, all first names in CreditCard and Customer tables will have a different value. Check the database to confirm.

Package execution (Command line)

• Navigate to the folder where the package is.
• Open the package folder.
• Run BizDataXPackage.exe.

Example: C:\Users\ekobit\source\repos\BizDataXPackage\BizDataXPackage\bin\Debug>BizDataXPackage.exe.
Check the database to confirm.

Package execution (BizDataX Portal)

A precondition is that the package is published to BizDataX Portal.

To start package execution from the BizDataX Portal, on navigation menu select 'Data Masking --> Packages' or select Data masking panel on project's dashboard screen.

To start executing the package, press the red Execute package button on the right. Pressing the button opens a 3-step wizard.

In the first step, Restartability mode and Package version are selected. Run the package without restartability (Do not use restartability option) because the package in this guide does not have the required configuration.
Click Next to proceed to the second step.

Since this is the first package execution on the Portal considering restartability mode, there are no registered iterators. At the same time, this is a feature associated with restartability that is not used in this guide.
Click Next to proceed to the last step.
