Parameters

Parameters are part of the data model. Figure 5-2 displays the parameters of the PBRER.

Description of "Figure 5-2 PBRER Parameters"

The data model has the following types of parameters:

• Text
• Menu (list of values)
• Date

Text parameters are the simplest form. If you provide a default value, the system considers it automatically when no value is passed.

Menu parameters are LOVs and are associated with attached queries. For example, the AGENCY parameter is associated with the query in Figure 5-3.

Oracle Argus Safety does not use date type parameters.

Note:

The default values take precedence even if there is a value present in the report configuration and you did not select a value during report execution.

You may see many -999999999 values as the default values. Inputting a value of -999999999 would show the -- SELECT -- record on the BIP Parameters screen. When no value is selected, the report tries to fetch any default value present in the report configuration.

For example, for Main Case Series, when the parameter value is not selected and is left at -- SELECT --, the report selects the main case associated with the report configuration.

Enterprise ID and Report Configuration Name are mandatory parameters. The report fails if either of these parameters is not submitted.
