Create 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 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 you want to create.
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 might 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 isn’t 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 doesn’t 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.
Create 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.

Create the encrypted EDM data set.

Windows

admin:
 edm-secure-cli.bat create

Linux

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

Entering this command creates a secured copy of the EDM data set in the

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

directory.

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

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


Verify that the encrypted EDM data set is successfully created.
The EDM CLI application only supports upload of the encrypted EDM data sets it creates to the DLP cloud service.
A secured copy of the EDM data set specified is created in the
package-edm-secure-cli-<version>-<platform>
directory. In the directory, a new folder is created with the name of the EDM data set appended with the date and time it was created. Inside this folder is the encrypted
output.zip
file containing your EDM data set that is uploaded to the DLP cloud service.
