Setting Integration Type Parameters

Integration Type parameters enable Financial Close Management to pass information to the end point to dictate and control how the end point should perform its action. For example, when you run a Financial Management consolidation, Financial Close Management can pass which application to run the consolidation against, and the dimension selections for the consolidation. The parameter values defined in the Integration Type are set in the task or Task Type using the integration. Thus, the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Fusion Edition Consolidation Integration Type can be used for many applications and dimension selections within Financial Close Management, depending on how you set the Consolidate task's parameter values.

Each parameter definition requires a name, description, unique code, type, and whether a value is required. The parameter code is the token that Financial Close Management replaces in the execution URL for end-user tasks, or the parameter name that is passed to the execution Web Service for system-automated integration types. Required values must have a value for all tasks in a schedule before the schedule can be set to Open.

The parameter type controls the parameter value and how the user enters the value in the task field. The supported parameter types are:

Checkbox - Boolean value
Date - date value
Document Navigator - hierarchical set of values, for example, folders and documents
Dimension Selector - values for a set of dimensions
Dynamic List - dynamic set of text values with values to be determined at runtime
Integer - basic numeric value in whole numbers
Number - basic numeric value in whole numbers or fractions
Options Group - checkbox for predefined set of values
Static List - list of predefined set of text values
Task Information - task information, for example, assignee, duration, start and end dates
Text - free-form text value
