Setting Integration Type Parameters

Integration Type parameters enable the application to pass information to the end point to control how the end point should perform its action. For example, when you run a consolidation, your program can pass which application to run the consolidation against, and the dimension selections for the consolidation. You set the parameter values defined in the Integration Type in the task or Task Type using the integration. The Consolidation Integration Type can be used for many applications and dimension selections in your application, depending on how you set the Consolidate task 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 replaces in the execution URL for 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. Supported parameter types:

For detailed information on setting parameters for Integration Types, see the Integration Guide on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website.
