forceexist XML element

forceexist

Specifies whether or not the import forces the target or source object of a referenced object to exist in the database. If the value is set to true, the target or source object will be created using the mapping definition of the referenced object. Only if the target or source object exists will a connection be imported. Whether the target object or the source object must exist depends on the value specified in the srctotarge XML property.

The default value is false.
