Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Incorrect Partial Redaction
Partial redaction was attempted with parameters that alter the length of the redacted data. Partial redaction typically expects the output to be the same length as the input.
⚠️
Invalid Redaction Function
The chosen redaction function or expression is incompatible with the data type or length constraints of the column being redacted. The function modified the length.
⚠️
Misconfigured Redaction Policy
The redaction policy was incorrectly configured to use a redaction type that changes the data length when it should not.
