Exist operation

The exist operation is used to determine whether or not an object exists. Perform an exist operation when it is necessary to check for an object but not process it.

The adapter processes an Exist operation in the same way that it processes a Retrieve operation, except that it does not populate the business object with retrieved data. It simply checks for the existence of an object in the enterprise information system.
