HCP System Management Help


Copying an object or version of an object

You use the HTTP PUT method to copy an object or existing version of an object from one location to another. The copy operation has these characteristics:

The source location can be any namespace, including the default namespace.

The target location must be an HCP namespace and can include the source namespace.

The name of the target object can differ from the name of the source object.

The copied object inherits all its system metadata from the target namespace default values and does not have any ACL values. However, you can specify whether custom metadata is copied with the object data.

When versioning is enabled, the target object gets a new version ID that differs from the source object version ID.

Note: You cannot store a new version of an object that is under retention or on hold in a target namespace.
