com.vmware.content.library.item.updatesession.file

The file service provides operations for accessing files within an update session.

After an update session is created against a library item, the file service can be used to make changes to the underlying library item metadata as well as the content of the files. The following changes can be made:

  • deleting an existing file within the library item. This deletes both the metadata and the content.
  • updating an existing file with new content.
  • adding a new file to the library item.

The above changes are not applied or visible until the session is completed. See com.vmware.content.library.item.update_session.
