Operation Attribute

Expands to the value of an attribute in the current operation. The operation can be an <add-attr>, <add-value>, or <attr>. If this token is evaluated in a context where a node-set result is expected, then all the available values are returned as nodes in a node-set. Otherwise, the first available value is returned as a string.

Fields

Specify the name of the attribute. Supports variable expansion. For more information, see Variable Selector.

Example

The example has four rules that implement a Placement policy for User objects based on the first character of the Surname attribute. It generates both a trace message and a custom Sentinel event. The policy name is Policy to Place by Surname, and it is available for download from the NetIQ Support Web site. For more information, see Downloading Identity Manager Policies in the NetIQ Identity Manager Understanding Policies Guide. To view the policy in XML, see 001-Placement-BySurname.xml.

The action Set Operation Destination DN contains the Operation Attribute token. The Operation Attribute token sets the Destination DN to the CN attribute. The rule takes the context of Training\Users\Active\Users and adds a \ plus the value of the CN attribute.
