Parameter Element

A Parameter element specifies values that are passed to the query. When multiple Parameter elements are defined, the values are passed to the query in the order in which they are listed.

A Parameter element requires the name parameter. The value of the name parameter can be a physical attribute or a well-known attribute.

Note: The Administrative UI must understand the values that are passed to a query in the Parameter element. For example, the value can be a physical name or a well-known attribute that is defined in the ImsManagedObjectAttr attributes.

When you specify a physical attribute, note the following:

• Use the following syntax to specify a physical attribute:

  tablename.columnname

  • tablename

    Provides the name of the table where the attribute is located. The table you specify should be the primary table.

  • columnname

    Provides the name of the column that stores the attribute.

• The attribute that you specify must exist in the database and be defined in the directory configuration file, as described in How to Modify Attribute Descriptions.
