Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_user
string
The OCID of the user, on whose behalf, OCI APIs are invoked. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_ID environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the user is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the user's OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_fingerprint
string
Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file
string
Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase
string
Passphrase used by the key referenced in api_user_key_file, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).
auth_purpose
string
    Choices:

auth_type
string
    Choices:
  • api_key ←
  • instance_principal
  • instance_obo_user
  • resource_principal
The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default auth_type="api_key" based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.

managed_database_id
string / required
The OCID of the Managed Database.
name
string
A filter to return all parameters that have the text given in their names.
region
string
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region to use for all OCI API requests. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REGION variable, if any, is used.

  • DESC
The option to sort information in ascending ('ASC') or descending ('DESC') order. Ascending order is the default order.
source
string
    Choices:
  • CURRENT
  • SPFILE
The source used to list database parameters. `CURRENT` is used to get the database parameters that are currently in effect for the database instance. `SPFILE` is used to list parameters from the server parameter file. Default is `CURRENT`.
tenancy
string
OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).

allowed_values
complex
on success
A list of allowed values for this parameter.

   
is_default
boolean
on success
Indicates whether the given ordinal value is the default value for the parameter.

Sample:
True
   
ordinal
float
on success

constraint
string
on success
Applicable in case of Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) databases. A `UNIQUE` parameter is one which is unique to each Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) instance. For example, the parameter `INSTANCE_NUMBER` must have different values in each instance. An `IDENTICAL` parameter must have the same value for every instance. For example, the parameter `DB_BLOCK_SIZE` must have the same value in all instances.

Sample:
UNIQUE

The ID of the database container to which the data pertains. Possible values include: - `0`: This value is used for data that pertain to the entire CDB. This value is also used for data in non-CDBs. - `1`: This value is used for data that pertain to only the root container. - `n`: Where n is the applicable container ID for the data.

Sample:
10
 
description
string
on success
The description of the parameter.

Sample:
description_example
 
display_value
string
on success
The parameter value in a user-friendly format. For example, if the `value` property shows the value 262144 for a big integer parameter, then the `displayValue` property will show the value 256K.

Sample:

is_system_modifiable
string

The change takes effect immediately. - DEFERRED: Parameter can be changed with `ALTER SYSTEM` regardless of the type of parameter file used to start the instance.
