<dd><p>Copies a library item.</p>
<p>Copying a library item allows a duplicate to be made within the same or
different library. The copy occurs by first creating a new library
item, whose identifier is returned. The content of the library item is
then copied asynchronously. This copy can be tracked as a task.</p>
<p>If the copy fails, Content Library Service will roll back the copy by
deleting any content that was already copied, and removing the new
library item. A failure during rollback may require manual cleanup by
an administrator.</p>

<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ItemModel</span></code> class represents a library item that has been stored in a
library.</p>
<p>A <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ItemModel</span></code> represents a single logical unit to be managed within a
<a class="reference internal" href="com.vmware.html#com.vmware.content_client.LibraryModel" title="com.vmware.content_client.LibraryModel"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">com.vmware.content_client.LibraryModel</span></code></a>. Items contain the actual
content of a library, and their placement within a library determines
policies that affect that content such as publishing.</p>
<p>A library item can have a specified type, indicated with the
<code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ItemModel.type</span></code> attribute. This property is associated with a
Content Library Service plugin that supports specific types and provides
additional services. The types available in a specific Content Library
Service can be queried using the <a class="reference internal" href="com.vmware.html#com.vmware.content_client.Type" title="com.vmware.content_client.Type"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">com.vmware.content_client.Type</span></code></a>
class. Items of an unknown or unspecified type are treated generically.
Because subscribed library catalogs are synchronized as is, subscribing to
a remote Content Library Service effectively gives you a library with the
functionality of the remote service’s type adapter plugins, even if they
are not installed locally.</p>

<li><p><strong>type</strong> (<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str</span></code>) – <p>An optional type identifier which indicates the type adapter plugin
to use.</p>
<p>This attribute may be set to a non-empty string value that
corresponds to an identifier supported by a type adapter plugin
present in the Content Library Service. A type adapter plugin, if
present for the specified type, can provide additional information
and services around the item content. A type adapter can guide the
upload process by creating file entries that are in need of being
uploaded to complete an item.</p>
<p>The types and plugins supported by the Content Library Service can
be queried using the <a class="reference internal" href="com.vmware.html#com.vmware.content_client.Type" title="com.vmware.content_client.Type"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">com.vmware.content_client.Type</span></code></a> class.
This attribute is optional for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">create</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">update</span></code>
methods. During creation, if the type is left unspecified, or if
the type is specified but does not have a corresponding type
support plugin, then the type of the library item is considered to
be generic and all data is treated as generic files. During update,
if the type is not specified, then it is not updated.</p>
</p></li>
<li><p><strong>version</strong> (<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str</span></code>) – <p>A version number that is updated on metadata changes. This value is
used to validate update requests to provide optimistic concurrency
of changes.</p>
<p>This value represents a number that is incremented every time
library item properties, such as name or description, are changed.
It is not incremented by changes to the file content of the library
item, including adding or removing files. It is also not affected
by tagging the library item.
This attribute is not used for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">create</span></code> method. It will
always be present in the result of a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">get</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">list</span></code> method. It
is optional for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">update</span></code> method. Leaving it None during
update indicates that you do not need to detect concurrent updates.</p>
</p></li>
<li><p><strong>source_id</strong> (<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str</span></code>) – The identifier of the <a class="reference internal" href="#com.vmware.content.library_client.ItemModel" title="com.vmware.content.library_client.ItemModel"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ItemModel</span></code></a> to which this item is
