Exists operation
The Exists operation checks if a document exists in the Lotus Domino server.
The adapter receives the request to check if a document is available in the database along with the Universal ID of the document. The adapter processes the request and checks if the document is present in the Lotus Domino server.
A document in the Lotus Domino server has a Universal ID and a If ID associated with it. The adapter uses the value set in the Universal ID to search the document in the Domino database. If the Universal ID is not provided in the request business object, the adapter tries to use the value set in the If ID. The adapter throws an error when both the Universal ID and the If ID are not provided in the request business object.
The response business object is sent back to the calling component. The attributes in the business object include the Universal ID and information about the result of the operation.
When there is a processing error, the Exists operation might throw the InvalidRequestFault fault. For more information about these business faults, refer to Fault business objects.
