PAR File doesn't exist error

BMurray

I know the file exists as I built it based off of the documentation.

I have tried:
DataMaskerCmdLine run PARFILE=X:\Data\RedGateMaskingSets\xxxPARFILE.txt
and
DataMaskerCmdLine run -p=X:\Data\RedGateMaskingSets\xxxPARFILE.txt

I keep getting 

CmdLineMain: Starting

File does not exist: X:\Data\RedGateMaskingSets\xxxPARFILE.txt

I copied my file over to a C directory as well and same message.

Hi @BMurray

Sorry to hear you've run into this issue! Could you please try:

"C:\Program Files\Red Gate\Data Masker for SQL Server 7\DataMaskerCmdLine.exe" PARFILE=C:\MaskingSets\SamplePARFILE.txt

and let us know if it makes any difference?

Thanks!

Same error, but I knew that was going to happen as that file doesn't exist on my server.  There isn't a MaskingSets directory on there.  Was it supposed to be created when we installed?

Sorry that I should have mentioned earlier, please replace the path with your PARFILE path (It doesn't have to be saved in C:\MaskingSets\).

Thanks.

It looks like we've opened a support ticket for you. We'll reach out by email shortly and check your PARFILE.

Thanks!
