Clone By XPath Expressions

Appends deep copies of the nodes specified by the source field to the set of elements specified by the destination field. If Before XPath Expression is not specified, the non-attribute cloned nodes are appended after any existing children of the selected elements. If Before XPath Expression is specified, it is evaluated relative to each of the elements selected by expression to determine which of the children to insert before. If Before XPath Expression evaluates to an empty node set or a node set that does not contain any children of the selected element, the non-attribute cloned nodes are appended after any existing children; otherwise, the non-attribute cloned nodes are inserted before each of the nodes in the previously selected node set that are children of the selected node.

Fields

Source XPath Expression

Specify the XPath 1.0 expression that returns a node set containing the nodes to be copied. Supports variable expansion. For more information on variable expansion and XPath, see XPath Expressions.

Destination XPath Expression

Specify the XPath 1.0 expression that returns a node set containing the elements to which the copied nodes are to be appended. Supports variable expansion. For more information on variable expansion and XPath, see Variable Selector.

Insert

Select whether to insert the XPath expression before the source XPath expression or append the XPath expression to the end of the current node in the destination XPath expression.

Before XPath Expression

Specify the XPath 1.0 expression that evaluates relative to each of the nodes selected by the expression that returns a node set containing the child nodes that the text should be inserted before. Supports variable expansion. For more information on variable expansion and XPath, see XPath Expressions.

Remarks

For more information on using XPath expressions with policies, see XPath 1.0 Expressions in the NetIQ Identity Manager Understanding Policies Guide.
