4.1.2 Parameterizing the Data Source

You can make the data source URL dynamic (in whole or part) by using parameters. To place a parameter in the URL, insert “$(parameter name)” at the desired location in the 'JDBC URL' string.

At runtime, Style Intelligence will attempt to acquire the value of this parameter by testing the following sequence of available sources:

Test for parameter stored as JVM system variable.

Test for parameter stored as report parameter in the sree.properties file.

Test for parameter passed within URL string.

If Style Intelligence cannot locate the parameter value in the above locations, it will by default prompt the user for the value.
