Confluence 3.5 : Content Anonymiser for Data Backups
This page last changed on Feb 16, 2011 by smaddox.
Atlassian may request a copy of the entities.xml file from a customer's exported zip file (backup file), in order to diagnose database corruption or to find a bug in Confluence. If your data is confidential, you can run an anonymiser program over your entities.xml file to remove all your data and leaving only the structure of the export. UsageTo run the Content Anonymiser on your backup file:
java -jar confluence-export-cleaner-1.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar entities.xml cleaned.xml How it worksThe Content Anonymiser program replaces all the text content in file entities.xml with 'x' characters. For example, the word "Atlassian" will be transformed to "xxxxxxxxx". The resulting cleaned.xml file is expected to have the same size as the original file. This release of the Content Anonymiser uses STX, a fast and efficient XML transformation technology. It should not require a lot of memory to run, even for a large backup.
