Create and Upload an Encrypted EDM Data Set Using a Configuration File

Set Up the EDM CLI Application.

Configure Connectivity to the DLP Cloud Service.

In the

upload_config.properties

file, you must enter a unique data set name for EDM data set you want to create and upload as the

dataset_name

. Upload to the DLP cloud service fails if you upload an EDM data set with a data set name that already exists in the DLP app.

Review the Supported EDM Data Set Formats and prepare the EDM data set for upload to the DLP cloud service.

Navigate to the

package-edm-secure-cli-<version>-<platform>

directory and open the

config.properties

file.

Configure the EDM data set upload parameters.

Enter the path of the EDM data set for upload.
Enter the delimiter used to specify boundaries between values in the EDM data set.
The “
,
” and tab (
t
) delimiters are supported for EDM data set uploads. An EDM data set may only use one delimiter.
Enter the EDM data set encoding method.
Enter the error threshold percentage for the EDM data set.
A secured version of the EDM data set is not created if the DLP cloud service encounters errors exceeding the specified error threshold percentage.
Specify whether the EDM data set has a header row.
Enter
true
if the EDM data set includes a header row.
Enter
false
if the EDM data set does not include a header row.
Specify whether to allow uploads of EDM data sets that include empty or blank cells.
Enter
true
to allow rows that include empty or blank rows in an EDM data set.
Enter
false
to reject rows that include empty or blank cells in an EDM data set.
Specify whether the EDM CLI application should abort the EDM data set upload if the EDM data set includes more than the maximum number of cells supported.
Enter
true
to upload the maximum number of data set cells supported.
Enter
false
to abort EDM CLI application if the EDM data set has more than the maximum number of data set cells supported.

Map your columns using the supported Data Types Value to accurately map each column in your EDM data set to a specific Data Type.
Refer to the
README.txt
file packaged with the EDM CLI application for the table to map your EDM data set columns to the correct Data Type value.
When you create an advanced data profile on
Strata Cloud Manager
, you’re required to add at least one column where the column values occurs up to 12 times in the selected EDM data set for the
Primary Field
.
When mapping your columns to a specific Data Type, be sure to include at least one column with up to 12 occurrences across the entire EDM data set. Otherwise, the DLP cloud service is unable to match traffic against the EDM data profile you create using this EDM data set.

Select
File
and
Save
the configuration file.

Upload the EDM data set to the DLP cloud service.

Open a terminal and navigate to the

package-edm-secure-cli-<version>-<platform>

directory where the EDM CLI application is located.

Upload the EDM data set to the DLP cloud service.

Windows

admin:
 edm-secure-cli.bat create -u

Linux

admin:
 ./edm-secure-cli.sh create -u

A secured copy of the EDM data set specified is created and the EDM data set begins uploading to the DLP cloud service.

Verify that the EDM data set is uploaded to the DLP cloud service successfully.

A progress bar and success message is displayed to notify you whether the upload is successful.



Monitor the upload status of the EDM data set.

The time it takes for an EDM data set uploaded to DLP cloud service to be available on the DLP app or

Strata Cloud Manager

depends on the EDM data set size and internet connectivity speed. For example, a 4GB EDM data set upload typically takes about 30 minutes to display in the DLP app and be usable in an advanced data profile.

Log in to
Strata Cloud Manager
or the DLP app on the hub.
Navigate to the list of uploaded EDM data sets.
