Q:
Is there a way to access "@old-src-dn" and its value within the IDM 2.0 Policy Builder? I'd like to set that value into a local variable.

A:
On Connector Channels, you could use XPATH where the old-src-dn XDS XML attribute is available. For example, on the AD Connector Subscriber channel the old-src-dn attribute IS available, whereas on the Publisher channel it is NOT available).

You could use something like this:
<do-set-local-variable name="oldDN">
 <arg-string>
  <token-xpath expression="@old-src-dn"/>
 </arg-string>
</do-set-local-variable>

Using XPATH in Policy Builder, you can get to all the nodes in your XDS XML document that you could with XSLT. The context would be the event (operation) element - in this case, <rename/>
