Answer 1

all the parameter's value will be there in your xml .
just you need to add parameter heading and corresponding xml tag name to get the parameter value on the report.

Declare Parameter in RTF Template
Before you use the parameter in the RTF template file you need to declare it first. You can do so by having the following syntax.
<?param@begin:%parameter_name%?>
Note: where %parameter_name% is the parameter name that you have created at the BI Publisher Server UI.
Here is an example:
<?param@begin:param1?>
Use it in RTF Template!
Once it’s declared in the RTF template you can start using it as the same way you use the variable. You need to just add ‘$’ prefix in front of the parameter name. Here is the example:
<?$param1?>
The above example would print the parameter value in the report output. If you want to use this value in your condition or calculation you can simply use it as ‘$param1’. Yes, it’s that simple.
If you are not sure if and how the parameter values are passed to the report when you run the report you can use this command in your RTF template, which will return all the parameter values passed to the RTF template at the runtime.
<?xdoxslt:getXDOProperties($_XDOCTX)?>
