_||_BI_PASSWORD_||_

An administrator has two ways to supply the password for the Oracle BI user:

• Use a placeholder parameter (masked parameter) in the soft coding value and assign the value to the parameter in the grid. The previous example used a place holder parameter called "BI_PASSWORD" and defined the BI_PASSWORD variable in the grid. The "_||_" prefix and postfix are markers for placeholder variables.

  When used this way, the value will be encrypted before it is saved into the database and is masked for future display.

  Note: Starting with Tools Release 9.2.26.6, the masked password is encrypted using the EnterpriseOne site key when the soft coding record is saved.

• Use plain text directly in the soft coding value.
