How to Pass parameter to Custom Scheduler dynamically

Question

hi ,
I am new to OIM.
Need your help in passing parameters dynamically to Custom Scheduler.
I have created Custom Scheduler by extending Task Support.
I have registered the plugin through API , using PlatformService.registerPlugin() method.
As I need to send the parameter(s) to this CustomScheduler, I have defined them in Metadata (CustomScheduleTask.xml) file as below and got it imported into DB
through weblogicImportMetadata.sh script by providing the path of the file.
<scheduledTasks xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oim/scheduler">
<task>
<name>CustomScheduleTask</name>
<class>org.schedule.custom.task.CustomScheduleTask</class>
<description>Fetch details of the given user_id</description>
<retry>5</retry>
<parameters>
<string-param required="true" helpText="Login Name">Login Name</string-param>
</parameters>
</task>
</scheduledTasks>
Iam able to import this plugin as well as register the plugin successfully. Now I have defined a job to which this Custom SchedulerTask is mapped.
Now in order to run this job(schedule task) I need to provide Login name( or id) which needs to be send as a parameter for the scheduler to get executed.
But while defining the job with this Schedule Task on OIM console, I was not able to define or pass parameter to this job. hence parameter is null in
CustomSchedule 's execute method .
Kindly help me how to pass parameter dynamically while running the scheduler from OIM console so that the execute method would be able to receive it.
Thank you in Advance.

Hi,
When you have created the schedule job for your custom schedule task, you should see your Login Name textfield in the schedule task. If not, then there verify your schedule task xml.
In your schedule class code, add:
public void execute(HashMap arg0) {
          final String METHOD_NAME = "execute :: ";
          logger.debug(CLASS_NAME + METHOD_NAME + "Entering Method - execute");
          try {
               String LoginName = arg0.get("Login Name");
