This example shows how to upload an OVF package to a library item from your local file system.

This example uses the steps that are described in the Upload an OVF Package from a Local File System to a Library Item procedure.

  // Link the file spec to the update session.
  File updateFileStub = myStubFactory.createStub(File.class, myStubConfiguration);
  updateFileStub.add(sessionId, fileSpec);
 
  // Initiate the asynchronous transfer.
  updateSessionStub.complete(sessionId);
