Data population means bringing data from production to QC / UAT /
Development environments. Make sure you scramble sensitive data
like SSN , DOB, Routing#  , Salary etc as the case may be ; The
difficulty lies in scrambling RELATED data (eg) SSN in table A of
Employee is present in Table W, Table G; Therefore when you
scramble SSN to a different value the same scrambled value needs
to go to Table W and Table G for that particular employee.
Depends on the Constraints in the schema.  VPD/FGAC may not be of
much use since it blanks out the values; Hence scrambling.
Methodology might vary depending on the need.
