com.vmware.content.library

The library service provides operations to manage and find com.vmware.content.library_model entities.

The library service provides support for generic functionality which can be applied equally to all types of libraries. The functionality provided by this service will not affect the properties specific to the type of library. See also com.vmware.content.local_library and com.vmware.content.subscribed_library.

POST /com/vmware/content/library?~action=update

Updates the properties of a library.

This is an incremental update to the library. Any field in the com.vmware.content.library_model structure that is unset will not be modified.

This operation will only update the common properties for all library types. This will not, for example, update the com.vmware.content.library_model.publish_info of a local library, nor the com.vmware.content.library_model.subscription_info of a subscribed library. Specific properties are updated in update and update.
