If Association

Fields

Operator

Select the condition test type.

Operator	Returns True when...
Associated	There is an established association for the current object.
Not Association	There is not an established association for the current object.
Available	There is a non-empty association value specified by the current operation.
Not available	The association is not available for the current object.
Equal	The association value specified by the current operation is exactly equal to the content of the if association.
Not Equal	The association value specified by the current operation is not equal to the content of the if association.
Greater Than	The association value specified by the current operation is greater than the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode.
Not Greater Than	Greater Than or Equal would return False.
Less Than	The association value specified by the current operation is less than the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode.
Not Less Than	Less Than or Equal would return False.

Value

Contains the value defined for the selected 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

• Not Greater Than

• Less Than

• Not Less Than

Comparison Mode

Some condition tests have a mode parameter that indicates how the 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 have a comparison mode parameter are:

• Equal

• Not Equal

• Not Greater Than

• Less Than

• Not Less Than

Example

This example tests to see if the association is available. When this condition is met, the actions that are defined are executed.
