Number parameter in custom schedule task in R2

Question

Gurus,
I have a developed a custom schedule task in OIM 11gR2 which has a number parameter as one of the input. I have defined this parm like below in my eventhandler.xml
<number-param required="true" helpText="Number of Records to Be retrieved">Number of Records</number-param>
While reading this value in the schedule task code, I am using this.
try
String records= String.valueOf(attributes.get("Number of Records"));
System.out.println("Records"+records);
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
I even tried with the below but same issue.
try
int records= Integer.parseInt((String)attributes.get("Number of Records"));
System.out.println("Records"+records);
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
But my job is failing is saying number format exception.
Can you please let me know some code snippet to read a number-param in a schedule task.

Answer 1

Here is a tested code for you.
import java.util.HashMap;
import oracle.iam.scheduler.vo.TaskSupport;
public class Test extends TaskSupport {
public void execute(HashMap attributes) {
try {
long recs=((Long)attributes.get("Number of Records")).longValue();
print((int) recs);
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception 1:"+e.getMessage());
private void print(int a) {
System.out.println(" a="+a);
public HashMap getAttributes() {
return null;
public void setAttributes() {
}
