EntityExistsByDbId

Description

Returns an indication of whether the entity exists or not.

Note: This method is deprecated for v 7.1.0 and later. Use EntityVisibleByDbId.
Note: In version 7.0 the limit on the number of records that can be stored increased so the range of DBIDs also increased. However, Rational® ClearQuest® clients earlier than version 7.0 cannot display records with database identifiers (DBIDs) higher than the former limit. For more information on DBIDs, see Mit Datensätzen arbeiten
