An Administrate operation provides two optional request elements that tell BIRT iHub to ignore any error condition it finds and continue the operation. These elements are IgnoreMissing and IgnoreDup. An Ignore element typically applies to the Name or NameList element of the primary object.

To ignore the error condition that BIRT iHub cannot find a specified object, set IgnoreMissing to True. For example, in an UpdateUser operation, if you specify an invalid user name, BIRT iHub ignores the missing name and the operation continues when IgnoreMissing is True. If you set IgnoreMissing to False, the operation stops and returns an error at the missing name.

To ignore the error condition that a specified object already exists, set IgnoreDup to True. BIRT iHub always rejects a duplicate request, regardless of the IgnoreDup setting. When you set IgnoreDup, you indicate whether the operation stops and BIRT iHub returns an error. BIRT iHub does not honor IgnoreDup if you attempt to update multiple objects that have the same name.
