com.vmware.content.library.item.update_session

The update_session service manipulates sessions that are used to upload content into the Content Library Service, and/or to remove files from a library item.

An update session is a resource which tracks changes to content. An update session is created with a set of files that are intended to be uploaded to a specific com.vmware.content.library.item_model, or removed from an item. The session object can be used to track the uploads and inspect the changes that are being made to the item by that upload. It can also serve as a channel to check on the result of the upload, and status messages such as errors and warnings for the upload.

Modifications are not visible to other clients unless the session is completed and all necessary files have been received.

The management of the files within the session is done through the com.vmware.content.library.item.updatesession.file service.

POST /com/vmware/content/library/item/update-session?~action=complete

Completes the update session. This indicates that the client has finished making all the changes required to the underlying library item. If the client is pushing the content to the server, the library item will be updated once this call returns. If the server is pulling the content, the call may return before the changes become visible. In that case, the client can track the session to know when the server is done.

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

Depending on the type of the library item associated with this session, a type adapter may be invoked to verify the validity of the files uploaded. The user can explicitly validate the session before completing the session by using the validate operation.

Modifications are not visible to other clients unless the session is completed and all necessary files have been received.
