Synchronize a Subscribed Content Library

When you subscribe to a published library, you can configure the settings for downloading and updating the library content.

• You can enable automatic synchronization of the subscribed library and download a copy of the content of the local library immediately.
• You can save storage space and download only the metadata for the items that are part of the local library.

To ensure that your subscribed library contains the most recent published library content, you can force a synchronization task.

Procedure

1. Access the SubscribedLibrary vSphere Automation service.
2. Retrieve the subscribed library ID from the SubscribedLibrary service.
3. Force the synchronization of the subscribed library.

Results

The synchronization operation depends on the update settings of the subscribed library. If the subscribed library is configured to update only on demand, only the metadata of the library items will be synchronized.
