    Hi Vijayender,
    I moved your discussion to the Delphix Products community. You should get more traction here.

    Hi Vijayender,

    You can find more information on how to create a properties file and how to provide it to the MSSQL database connector in the following blog article here: https://community.delphix.com/blogs/sandro-latini/2022/07/06/converting-mssql-advanced-database-connectors-to-b (Section Migrating to the Basic Connector with Property File) and also in our KBA here: https://support.delphix.com/Continuous_Compliance_Engine_(formerly_Masking_Engine)/Configuring_a_Masking_Connector_to_Work_with_an_AD_Account_(KBA1820)
    Let us know if you have any further questions.

    Thank you.
    Sandro

    Thanks Sandor, but would like to have the properties file added while creating the connector through API call

    Hi Vijayender,

    Apologies, I missed the API component of the question.

    You will need to upload the properties file first:


    I would recommend to keep the "permanent" setting to false the file will be in the Masking engine as long as the database connector is in place and, if you delete the connector, the properties file will be cleaned up automatically.

    Expected output is a fileReferenceId:

    {
  "fileReferenceId": "delphix-file://upload/f_b75cd79849e140eb800646c969d7767d/mssql.properties",
  "filename": "mssql.properties",
  "fileSize": 72,
  "persistenceType": "OBJECT/TEMPORARY"
}

    With that information, you can create a new connector as follows:

    I used json properties from an existing database connector for MSSQL as a reference and added he password property.

    Let us know if you have any further questions.

    Thank you.
    Sandro
