        given().

            param("Cookie","JSESSIONID=B1FAC334FF60F7182D4C552ABE01A700; hi.session.co.entity=1838-PROD1; hi.session.id.identifier=xHmvClBuIBcSKAEiVP~~AAAESADWaUjq; hi.session.client.identifier=1838Viewer").

            get("/hi-prod/3.1.12/al/api/articles")
           .then().assertThat().statusCode(200).
            body("status",equalTo("OK")).log().body();


    }

}  

Answer 1

param() is used to add a query parameter to the URL - which is not something you want for setting the cookies. Cookies have to be set in the Request Header.

Instead you should be using cookie() or cookies(). The rest-assured wiki has a section on how to set the cookies. Note that you will need to set four cookies according to your example.

EDIT: Added as per comment,

Approach 1

Cookie cookie1 = Cookie.Builder("JSESSIONID", "B1FAC334FF60F7182D4C552ABE01A700").build();
Cookie cookie2 = Cookie.Builder("hi.session.co.entity", "1838-PROD1").build();
Cookie cookie3 = Cookie.Builder("hi.session.id.identifier", "xHmvClBuIBcSKAEiVP~~AAAESADWaUjq").build();
Cookie cookie4 = Cookie.Builder("hi.session.client.identifier", "1838Viewer").build();
Cookies cookies = new Cookies(cookie1, cookie2, cookie3, cookie4);

given().cookies(cookies)
       .when().get("/hi-prod/3.1.12/al/api/articles")

Approach 2

given().header("Set-Cookie", "JSESSIONID=B1FAC334FF60F7182D4C552ABE01A700; hi.session.co.entity=1838-PROD1; hi.session.id.identifier=xHmvClBuIBcSKAEiVP~~AAAESADWaUjq; hi.session.client.identifier=1838Viewer"")
       .when().get("/hi-prod/3.1.12/al/api/articles")
