Description It is very useful to able to copy nodes. When copying container nodes (folders) you also have the option to copy child nodes. Operations provided by the service include:
  • Copy a node, along with (optionally) its children.
  • Copy and rename a node.
  • Get the copies of a specified node (with paged results).
  • Check if the name of a top-level node will be changed during copy, due to policies in place.
  • Given the copied node, obtain the original node.

Copies can be performed across workspaces.
