To define build parameters

7. Enter the new build parameter value.
8. To change the build parameter type, double-click on the Type field. The list of types displays.
9. Select a type. The Type field updates.
10. To use the build parameter to control an incremental build, turn the Controller checkbox on.
11. To continue adding build parameters, repeat steps 4 through 11.
12. Choose the OK button. You return to the Properties pane for the cube.

Notes

• Changes made in the Property pane apply when you leave the pane or perform another operation in O3 designer.
• You can also reassign parameter values during the build process by creating a file containing the new values in the format:

<Parameter1Name>=<Parameter1Value>
<Parameter2Name>=<Parameter2Value>
<Parameter1Name>=<Parameter1Value>
The values assigned in the model are substituted with the ones specified in the file. These can be constants or expressions.
