Exists operation

The Exists operation looks for a specified business component instance in the Siebel application.

If the specified business component instance exists, the component receives a successful response (ExistsResults) in the form of a business object. A Boolean property set in the business object confirms that the business component exists in the database.

For example, if the business component instance exists in the Siebel application, the Boolean property is set to True. If the specified record does not exist, the Boolean property is set to False.

If there are additional errors during processing, then a BusinessProcessingFailedException error is returned.
