Application parameters
Use the Parameters portlet to edit the parameters defined by a template for the composite applications and application components created from the template.
Parameters specify the property values of the components that are instantiated by the application during runtime. The default value of a parameter can be provided by the application or a component, or it can use the value of another parameter of the same data type.
If the source of the default value is the application or component, the parameter value is characterized as Self-defined.
If the source of the default value is another parameter of the same data type, the parameter value is qualified by the name of the source parameter and its owner application or component, Application or Component name: parameter name.

Edit parameters
Click the name of the parameter to display the Edit Parameter page. When you edit a parameter definition in the application template, you specify how its value is assigned: whether it is self-defined or uses the value of another parameter.
We cannot delete parameters because they are provided by the components defined by the application template and used in instances of composite applications that are created from the template.
