Destination Dn - Novell POLICY IN DESIGNER 3.5 - 09-18-2009 Manual

Destination DN

Expands to the destination DN specified in the current operation.
Fields
Start
Specify the RDN index to start with:
Index 0 is the root-most RDN
Positive indexes are an offset from the root-most RDN
Index -1 is the leaf-most segment
Negative indexes are an offset from the leaf-most RDN towards the root-most RDN
Length
Specify the number of RDN segments to include. Negative numbers are interpreted as (total #
of segments + length) + 1. For example, for a DN with 5 segments a length of -1 = (5 + (-1)) +
1 = 5, -2 = (5 + (-2)) + 1 = 4, etc.
Convert
Select whether or not to convert the DN to the format used by the source data store.
Remarks
If start and length are set to the default values {0,-1}, the entire DN is used; otherwise, only the
portion of the DN specified by start and length is used.
Example
The example uses the Destination DN token to set the value for the local variable of target-container.
