ALL_REPCAT_TEMPLATE_PARMS

Contains parameters defined in the object DDL for all templates accessible to the current user. When an object is added to a template, the DDL is examined for variables. Any found parameters are automatically added to this view.

You can also define default parameter values and a prompt string in this view. These can make the templates easier to use during the instantiation process.

• DBA_REPCAT_TEMPLATE_PARMS describes the template parameters for all deployment templates in the database.
• USER_REPCAT_TEMPLATE_PARMS describes the template parameters for all deployment templates owned by the current user.

  Column	Datatype	NULL	Description
  REFRESH_TEMPLATE_NAME	VARCHAR2(30)	NOT NULL	The name of the deployment template.
  OWNER	VARCHAR2(30)	NOT NULL	The owner of the deployment template.
  REFRESH_GROUP_NAME	VARCHAR2(30)	NOT NULL	Name of the refresh group to which the template objects are added to during the instantiation process.
  TEMPLATE_COMMENTS	VARCHAR2(2000)	-	User specified comments.
  PUBLIC_TEMPLATE	VARCHAR2(1)	-	If Y then the deployment template is public. If N then the deployment template is private.
  PARAMETER_NAME	VARCHAR2(30)	NOT NULL	The name of the parameter.
  DEFAULT_PARM_VALUE	CLOB(4000)	-	The default parameter value.
  PROMPT_STRING	VARCHAR2(2000)	-	The prompt string for the parameter.
  USER_OVERRIDE	VARCHAR2(1)	-	If Y then the user can override the default parameter value. If N then the user cannot override the default parameter value.

Because the DEFAULT_PARM_VALUE column is defined as a CLOB, you receive an error if you simply try to perform a SELECT on the ALL_REPCAT_TEMPLATE_PARMS view. If you do not need to see the default parameter value, then use the following select statement (be sure to exclude DEFAULT_PARM_VALUE):

SELECT REFRESH_TEMPLATE_NAME, OWNER, REFRESH_GROUP_NAME, TEMPLATE_COMMENT,  
  PUBLIC_TEMPLATE, PARAMETER_NAME, PROMPT_STRING, USER_OVERRIDE 
  FROM DBA_REPCAT_TEMPLATE_PARMS;
