3.5 Creating an Argument
The Argument Builder provides a dynamic graphical interface that enables you to construct complex
argument expressions for use within the Policy Builder. To access the Argument Builder, see
“Argument Builder” on page 47 .
Arguments are dynamically used by actions and are derived from tokens that are expanded at run
time.
Tokens are broken up into two classifications: nouns and verbs. Noun tokens expand to values that
are derived from the current operation, the source or destination data stores, or some external source.
Verb tokens modify the results of other tokens that are subordinate to them.
To define an expression, select one or more noun tokens (values, objects, variables, etc.), and
combine them with verb tokens (substring, escape, uppercase, and lowercase) to construct
arguments. Multiple tokens are combined to construct complex arguments.
