Using user defined parameter

With user defined parameter, database connection options or database alias name can be set dynamically at runtime.

Connection option setup

Click [Add Parameter Field] in popup menu on the USER-DEFINED PARAMETER item in OZ data window.

USER-DEFINED PARAMETER dialog appears. Register user defined parameter for each options(IP, PortNo, Username, Password) and set their properties(Name, Type, Value).

Note

Database connection will be made using parameter values passed from report application at runtime.

Dynamic database connection with parameter may not protect database connection information, so it is recommended to use dynamic alias name with db.properties file.
