Setting Data Mart Parameter Values

You cannot add or remove Parameters. They are predefined for each type of Data Mart. You can change their value and other settings either in the Data Mart definition, in the Execution Setup definition, or allow the user to set their value in the Execution Setup at runtime.

To change Parameter values and other settings in the Data Mart definition:

1. Check out the Data Mart definition if it is not already checked out.
2. In the Parameters subtab, click the hyperlink in the Name column of the Parameter you want to modify.
3. Click Update.
4. Modify the following attribute values if necessary:

   Note:

   Because these are predefined and required Parameters you should not modify any attributes other than the following or the Data Mart may not function properly.

   • Read Only. To prevent users from changing the value of this Parameter at runtime, check Read Only. To allow users to change the value at runtime, leave unchecked.

   • Prompt. The prompt is the label displayed for the Parameter in the Execution Setup. You can change it if you want to.

   • Default Value. You can change the default value in the Parameters List of Values. If you also make the Parameter Read Only, the default value becomes the value used at runtime.

5. Click Apply.
