If Attribute

Performs a test on attribute values of the current object in either the current operation or the source data store. It can be logically thought of as If Operation Attribute or If Source Attribute, because the test is satisfied if the condition is met in the source data store or in the operation. The test performed depends on the specified operator.

Fields

Name

Specify the name of the attribute to test.

Operator

Select the condition test type.

Operator	Returns True when...
Available	There is a value available in either the current operation or the source data store for the specified attribute.
Not Available	Available would return False.
Equal	There is a value available in either the current operation or the source data store for the specified attribute, which equals the specified value when compared using the specified comparison mode.
Not Equal	Equal would return False.

Value

Contains the value defined for the select operator. The value is used by the condition. The operators that contain the value field are:

Equal
Not Equal

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.

The operators that contain the comparison mode parameter are:

Equal
Not Equal
