Hi Venkat,
If I understood your question correctly, then this morning I had exactly the same question as you. Since I couldn't find any information online, I decided to experiment with a test program. I found out that working with attributes is almost the same as working with elements. Here is my test:
In the source message, Type and Value are attributes that contain values (the Element element does not contain any value). The mapping program checks if the "Type" attribute equals "N"; if so, then the value of the attribute "Value" is mapped to the "Result" element in the target message (otherwise, the whole source element is ignored). Below is also a small sample test file you can use to see the program in action.
MT_Source
   Element        1..unbounded
      Type       optional           xsd:string
      Value      optional           xsd:string
MT_Target
   Result      1..unbounded    xsd:string
Mapping steps for "Result"
(unfortunately no graphics)
Use the equalsS function to compare Type (with context changed to MT_Source) with a constant "N".
Put the result from the above into the if argument of an ifWithoutElse.
Put Value (with context changed to MT_Source) in the else argument.
Put the of the ifWithoutElse result into Result.
This is what the Text preview should look like:
/ns0:MT_Target/Result=ifWithoutElse([keepss=false]stringEquals(/ns0:MT_Source/Element/@Type=, const([value=N])), /ns0:MT_Source/Element/@Value=)
And here is the XML test data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_Source xmlns:ns0="urn:chplanet-ca:examples">
   <Element Type="A" Value="z"/>
   <Element Type="N" Value="5"/>
   <Element Type="O" Value="@"/>
</ns0:MT_Source>
Change the namespace above to your own, then import this file in the test tab and play with the values to see the different results.
I hope it helps.
