com.vmware.content.subscribed_library

create

POST /com/vmware/content/subscribed-library
POST /com/vmware/content/subscribed-library?~action=create

Creates a new subscribed library.

Once created, the subscribed library will be empty. If the com.vmware.content.library_model.subscription_info property is set, the Content Library Service will attempt to synchronize to the remote source. This is an asynchronous operation so the content of the published library may not immediately appear.
