rs_job_parameters

on-site-related topic

The following table lists the columns for the rs_job_parameters view. The equivalent jcs_job_parameters view is available for backward compatibility reasons. The difference between the two is the data type of the date/time columns; the rs_* views use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE while the jcs_* views use DATE.

Column Datatype Description
JOB_ID NUMBER The unique job id
SCRIPT_ID NUMBER The script ID of the script this job is submitted from
PARAMETER_NAME VARCHAR2 The parameter name
ARRAY_PAR VARCHAR2 Is this an array parameter
ARRAY_SIZE NUMBER Array size for fixed-array parameters
DATA_TYPE VARCHAR2 The data type of the parameter (date, number, varchar2 or char)
DATA_LENGTH NUMBER The maximum parameter length
DATA_PRECISION NUMBER The precision, or total number of digits
DATA_SCALE NUMBER The number of digits to the right of the decimal point
PAR_IN VARCHAR2 Is the parameter an input parameter (Y or N)?
PAR_OUT VARCHAR2 Is the parameter an output parameter (Y or N)?
NULLABLE VARCHAR2 Is the parameter optional (Y or N)?
RUNTIME VARCHAR2 Is the parameter determined at runtime (Y or N)?
DISPLAY VARCHAR2 Is the parameter displayed (Y or N)?
EDITABLE VARCHAR2 May the default parameter value be overwritten?
EDITABLE_IF_NULL VARCHAR2 May a parameter value be specified if there is no default?
GENERATED VARCHAR2 The name of the system parameter when the value is generated by Redwood at runtime
PARAMETER_ID NUMBER The unique parameter id
INPUT_FORMAT VARCHAR2 The format string used to check the input value
OUTPUT_FORMAT VARCHAR2 The format string used to pass to child jobs or to the commandfile
DEFAULT_LENGTH NUMBER The length of the definition for the default parameter value
DATA_DEFAULT VARCHAR2 The definition of the default parameter value
DEFAULT_TYPE VARCHAR2 The type of the default parameter value definition
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2 The parameter description
CMDFILE VARCHAR2 Is the parameter to be put into the CMDFILE
VALUE_NUM NUMBER The numeric value
VALUE_VCH VARCHAR2 The character value
VALUE_DAT DATE The date value
VALUE_TSTAMP TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE The timestamp valueThe timezone is specified as an Olson name.
VALUE_CLOB CLOB The clob value
OUTVALUE_NUM NUMBER The numeric output value
OUTVALUE_VCH VARCHAR2 The character output value
OUTVALUE_DAT DATE The date output value
OUTVALUE_TSTAMP TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE The timestamp output valueThe timezone is specified as an Olson name.
OUTVALUE_CLOB CLOB The clob output value
GROUPNAME VARCHAR2 The GUI name of the parameter group
VISUAL_ATTRIBUTES VARCHAR2 Attributes that can be used by the GUI to store representational data
CONSTANT CHAR Is this parameter a constant parameter
COMMENT_TEXT VARCHAR2 Comment describing the parameter

Note: VALUE_DAT: It is best to call jcs.set_date_timezone with a olson timezone, that reflects the database host timezone. E.g. in The Netherlands the database host timezone is +01:00 in the winter and +02:00 in the summer where it is now better to call jcs.set_date_timezone('Europe/Amsterdam') first. Where in Cronacle v7 a job-parameter could only have a date value or have a timestamp with time zone value, here both can be filled in. In Cronacle 8 there is no distinction between DATE and TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.

Note: VALUE_CLOB: Version 9 does not support CLOB as parameter type.

Note: OUTVALUE_CLOB: Version 9 does not support CLOB as parameter type.

Note: INPUT_FORMAT: Version 9 does not have input formats for parameters.

Note: OUTPUT_FORMAT: Version 9 does not have output formats for parameters.

Note: VISUAL_ATTRIBUTES: Version 9 does not have visual attributes anymore, therefore this column is always empty
