Parameters

The behavior of each call in ITP/OnLine depends on a rather large set of parameters. Three types of parameters can be distinguished:

1. Call parameters are Call specific parameters that will vary at run time. They can only be passed as a parameter of the Call.
2. Configuration parameters are installation specific parameters that will not vary at run time. They can only be configured through the configuration pages.
3. Properties are parameters that may or may not vary at run time. For properties, defaults may be configured on the application specific configuration page. If a property is not passed as a parameter on the Call, the configured default will be used.

Parameters can be of the types;

• String,
• Number (i.e. string that may be interpreted as a number),
• Boolean (i.e. string that may be interpreted as a boolean value - both 'Y'/'N' and 'true/false' are accepted, either in upper or in lower case).

All parameter names are case insensitive.
