<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>A <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ItemModel</span></tt> 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"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">com.vmware.content_client.LibraryModel</span></tt></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
|
||
|
|
<tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">ItemModel.type</span></tt> 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"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">com.vmware.content_client.Type</span></tt></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

the type is specified but does not have a corresponding type

<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

|
|
<p>If the source content comes from a published library with
|
||
|
|
<tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">PublishInfo.persist_json_enabled</span></tt>, the subscription URL can
|

be a URL pointing to the library JSON file on a datastore or remote
|
||
|
|
file system. The supported formats are:</p>

<p>When you specify a DS subscription URL, the datastore must be on

the same vCenter Server as the subscribed library. When you specify

an NFS or SMB subscription URL, the

|
|
<tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">StorageBacking.storage_uri</span></tt> of the subscribed library must
|
||
|
|
be on the same remote file server and should share a common parent
|
||
|
|
path with the subscription URL.
