cxnhandling XML element (mapping cxn sub-element)

cxnhandling

Defines for this table how the mapped connections are to be handled by default. You can overwrite this setting by specifying cxn sub-elements.

There are three possible values:

  • ignore

    The connection is not imported.

  • 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.

    This is the default setting if no cxnhandling attribute is specified.
