Customization Spec Manager Overwrite Customization Spec

Customization Spec Manager Overwrite Customization Spec

Overwrites an existing specification, possibly after retrieving (by using 'get') and editing it.

If, based on the item's changeVersion value, the overwrite process detects that the specification has changed since its retrieval, then the API uses the SpecModified exception to warn clients that they might overwrite another client's change.

Required privileges: VirtualMachine.Provisioning.ModifyCustSpecs
