REST API - update

content library item update session: update

Updates the properties of an update session.

This is an incremental update to the update session. Any field in the content.library.item.update_session_model structure that is unset will not be modified.

This operation will only update the property content.library.item.update_session_model.warning_behavior of the update session. This will not, for example, update the content.library.item.update_session_model.library_item_id or content.library.item.update_session_model.state of an update session.

This operation requires the session to be in the ACTIVE state.

. This operation was added in vSphere API 6.8.
