Conditions element COND

Condition has syntax of comparing two values with operator. The values can be rule parameters, AD field values or simple text values. Conditions are evaluated as part of elements TEST, CHANGE and DELETE to define conditions under which rule actions are processed.

Conditions are using following operators:

• = equal to

• EQ equal to

• /= not equal

• NE not equal

• EXISTS

• EX – exists

• NOTEXISTS

• NX – not exists

• NOTBLANK

• NB – not blank

• ~= match regular expression

• REGEXP_MATCH match regular expression

• RM match regular expression

• !~ do not match regular expression

• NM do not match regular expression

• NOT_REGEXP_MATCH do not match regular expression

• IN compares one value with set of values, one record from the set of values equals to the value

• NI compares one value with set of values, the set of values does not contain the value

Regular expression are using PHP PCRE regular expression syntax.

The condition operator in COND need two blank characters, one blank char before and one blank character after.

Example: testing whether application owner is user P390R

<COND>adowner=P390R</COND>

Or

<COND>adowner EQ P390R</COND>

Example: testing applications that there is no operation with number 002

<COND>adopno /= 002 </COND>

Or

<COND>adopno NE 002 </COND>

Example: Testing that at application exists at least one operation

<COND>adopno NE 002 </COND>

Or

<COND>adop EX </COND>

Example: Testing Group Definition is not blank

<COND>adgroupid NOTBLANK </COND>

Or

<COND>adgroupid NB </COND>

Example: comparing param value with values loaded from lookup, load PAR5 with values from lookup table, if the workstation name equals to the one of the values from PAR5 print warning message

<INIT ID="init1">
<LOAD SRC="LOOKUP">PAR5
		<TABLE  ID_LOOKUP="ws_e2f" SRCH="column1" REPLACE="column1" />
	</LOAD>
</INIT>
<TEST  ID="test1">
	<COND>adopwsid IN PAR5</COND>
	<MESSAGE level="warning">test message 1</MESSAGE>
</TEST>
