Tonic Structural release notes

Redesigned Database View

We redesigned Database View to improve the display and the filtering.

In the updated columns list, the Column column contains the schema, table, and column name, and the column data type. It provides access to the data preview option.

The Applied Generator column shows the applied generator. Applied Generator indicates when a column is unprotected, when the column is a primary or foreign key, and when the configuration overrides the parent workspace. If the table mode is not De-Identify, it shows the table mode. It provides access to the commenting option.

Filters other than the column name filter are moved under the Filters option. There are also new filters for the sensitivity type (the type of sensitive data that Tonic detected in the column) and whether the column has a recommended generator.

Privacy Report updates

In the Privacy Report, new column, Column Privacy Rank, indicates the privacy ranking for a column based on the assigned generator and generator configuration. The generator summary and generator reference include the possible privacy ranking values for each generator.

Added a new column, Tonic Detected Sensitivity, that indicates whether the Tonic sensitivity scan identified the column as sensitive. Renamed the Is Sensitive column to Current Sensitivity. Current Sensitivity indicates whether the column is currently marked as sensitive.

Also corrected an earlier issue with the order of the columns.

Other updates

Fixed an issue that caused all subset runs to record the percentage of rows in the subset as 100%. Subset runs that occur after updating to this version display the correct percentage.

The option to write output data to a container repository is out of beta.

Databricks

• For Databricks 13+, writing output to delta tables now uses the table’s liquid clustering configuration to cluster the insertion.
• Fixed an issue with loading tables into the Tonic application.

Google BigQuery

• Improved batch size calculations to reduce memory pressure during data generation jobs.
• Fixed an issue with applying the Timestamp Shift and Date Truncation generators on datetime or timestamp data when TONIC_GRPC_ENABLED was false.
• For the Timestamp Shift and Date Truncation generators, improved support for time values that include fractional seconds.
• Fixed an issue where the Character Substitution generator failed when assigned to a NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC column.

Oracle

• Tonic now supports IDENTITY columns. Before this change, IDENTITYM columns caused errors during destination database creation.
