cxnhandling XML element

cxnhandling

Specifies the default connection handling of mapped connections for this table. You can overwrite this setting by specifying cxn sub-elements.

There are three possible values:

  • ignore

    Connections not listed are not imported. This is the default if no cxnhandling attribute is specified.

  • create

    Connections are created if either the source or the target object of the connection had already existed before the item itself was imported/synchronized.

  • createAllowForce

  • Connections are created based on the specification in the ARIS-ALFABET-mapping.xml file. If the mapping forces the corresponding target or source object to exist, the connection is imported based on the specification in the ARIS-ALFABET-mapping.xml file.
