If Source Attribute

Performs a test on attribute values of the current object in the source data store. The test performed depends on the specified operator.

Fields

Name

Specify the name of the source attribute to test for the selected condition.

Operator

Select the condition test type.

Operator

Returns True when...

Available

There is a value available in the source data store for the specified attribute.

Not Available

Available would return False.

Equal

There is a value available in the source data store for the specified attribute. It equals the specified value when compared using the specified comparison mode.

Not Equal

Equal would return False.

Greater Than

There is a value available in the source data store for the specified attribute that is greater than the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode. If the mode is structured, the content must be a set of components; otherwise, it must be text.

Not Great Than

Greater Than or Equal would return False.

Less Than

There is a value available in the source data store for the specified attribute that is less than the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode. If the mode is structured, the content must be a set of components; otherwise, it must be text.

Not Less Than

Less Than or Equal would return False.

Value

Contains the value defined for the select operator. The value is used by the condition. Each value supports variable expansion. For more information, see Variable Expansion. The operators that contain the value field are:

  • Equal

  • Not Equal

  • Greater Than

  • Not Greater Than

  • Less Than

  • Not Less Than

Comparison Mode

The condition has a comparison mode parameter that indicates how a comparison is done.

Mode

Description

Case Sensitive

Character-by-character case sensitive comparison.

Case Insensitive

Character-by-character case insensitive comparison.

Regular Expression

The regular expression matches the entire string. It defaults to case insensitive, but can be changed by an escape in the expression.

See Sun’s Web site.

The pattern options CASE_INSENSITIVE, DOTALL, and UNICODE_CASE are used but can be reversed using the appropriate embedded escapes.

Source DN

Compares using semantics appropriate to the DN format for the source data store.

Destination DN

Compares using semantics appropriate to the DN format for the destination data store.

Numeric

Compares numerically.

Binary

Compares the binary information.

Structured

Compares the structured attribute according to the comparison rules for the structured syntax of the attribute.

The operators that contain the comparison mode parameter are:

  • Equal

  • Not Equal

  • Greater Than

  • Not Greater Than

  • Less Than

  • Not Less Than
