string

Optional

An identifier which uniquely identifies this LibraryModel. This field is not used for the create operation. It will not be present in the result of the get or list operations. It is not used for the update operation. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.content.Library. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.content.Library.

string As date-time

creation_time

Optional

The date and time when this library was created. This field is not used for the create operation. It will always be present in the result of the get or list operations. It is not used for the update operation.

string

description

Optional

A human-readable description for this library. This field is optional for the create operation. Leaving it unset during creation will result in an empty string value. It will always be present in the result of a get or list operation. It is optional for the update operation. Leaving it unset during update indicates that the description should be left unchanged.

string As date-time

last_modified_time

Optional

The date and time when this library was last updated. This field is updated automatically when the library properties are changed. This field is not affected by adding, removing, or modifying a library item or its content within the library. Tagging the library or syncing the subscribed library does not alter this field.

This field is not used for the create operation. It will always be present in the result of the get or list operations. It is not used for the update operation.

string As date-time

last_sync_time

Optional

The date and time when this library was last synchronized. This field applies only to subscribed libraries. It is updated every time a synchronization is triggered on the library. The value is unset for a local library.

This field is not used for the create operation. It is optional in the result of the get or list operations. It is not used for the update operation.

string

name

Optional

The name of the library. A Library is identified by a human-readable name. Library names cannot be undefined or an empty string. Names do not have to be unique.

This field must be provided for the create operation. It will always be present in the result of the get or list operations. It is optional for the update operation.

array of Library_StorageBacking

storage_backings

Optional

The list of default storage backings which are available for this library. A StorageBacking defines a default storage location which can be used to store files for library items in this library. Some library items, for instance, virtual machine template items, support files that may be distributed across various storage backings. One or more item files may or may not be located on the default storage backing.

Multiple default storage locations are not currently supported but may become supported in future releases.

This field must be provided for the create operation. It will always be present in the result of the get or list operations. It is not used for the update operation.

LibraryModel_LibraryType

type

Optional

The LibraryModel.LibraryType enumerated type defines the type of a LibraryModel. The type of a library can be used to determine which additional services can be performed with a library.
LOCAL : The library contents are defined and stored by the local Content Library Service installation. A local library can be retrieved and managed via the LocalLibrary.
SUBSCRIBED : The library synchronizes its items and content from another published library. A subscribed library can be retrieved and managed via the SubscribedLibrary.

Library_OptimizationInfo

optimization_info

Optional

The OptimizationInfo structure defines different optimizations and optimization parameters applied to particular library.

string

version

Optional

A version number which is updated on metadata changes. This value allows clients to detect concurrent updates and prevent accidental clobbering of data. This value represents a number which is incremented every time library properties, such as name or description, are changed. It is not incremented by changes to a library item within the library, including adding or removing items. It is also not affected by tagging the library.

This field is not used for the create operation. It will always be present in the result of a get or list operation. It is optional for the update operation. Leaving it unset during update indicates that you do not need to detect concurrent updates.

Library_PublishInfo

publish_info

Optional

The PublishInfo structure defines how a local library is published publicly for synchronization to other libraries.

Library_SubscriptionInfo

subscription_info

Optional

The SubscriptionInfo structure defines the subscription behavior for a subscribed library.

string

server_guid

Optional

The unique identifier of the vCenter server where the library exists. This field is optional for the create operation. It will always be present in the result of the get or list operations. It is not used for the update operation. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.VCenter. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.VCenter.

string

security_policy_id

Optional

Represents the security policy applied to this library. Setting the field will make the library secure. This field is ignored in update operation if LibraryModel.unset-security-policy-id is set to true.

This field is optional for the create and update operations. If not set in create operation, the library will be insecure. If not specified in update operation, the field is left unchanged. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.content.Library. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.content.Library.

boolean

unset_security_policy_id

Optional

This represents the intent of the change to LibraryModel.security-policy-id in update operation. If this field is set to true, any security policy applied to the library will be removed. If this field is set to false, any security policy applied to library will be changed to the value specified in LibraryModel.security-policy-id, if any.

This field is optional for the update operation. If unset, any existing security policy will be changed to the value specified in LibraryModel.security-policy-id, if any.

Authentication

This operation uses the following authentication methods.

array of Std_LocalizableMessage

messages

Required

Stack of one or more localizable messages for human error consumers. The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the error from the perspective of the operation the client invoked.

Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.

object

data

Optional

Data to facilitate clients responding to the operation reporting a standard error to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully. Operations may provide data that clients can use when responding to errors. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the operation reporting the error, different operations that report the same error may provide different data in the error. The documentation for each each operation will describe what, if any, data it provides for each error it reports.

The ArgumentLocations, FileLocations, and TransientIndication structures are intended as possible values for this field. DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this field (although that is not its primary purpose). Some services may provide their own specific structures for use as the value of this field when reporting errors from their operations.

Some operations will not set this field when reporting errors.
