Copy or Move a vApp

The cloneVApp request makes a copy of the vApp referenced in the Source element of the request body. The
request specifies a new name and, optionally, a new description for the copy. The request can optionally
include an IsSourceDelete element whose value specifies whether the source vApp is deleted after the copy
is complete. If IsSourceDelete is missing from the request body or present with a value of false, the source
object remains in place after the copy is complete. Setting IsSourceDelete to true effectively moves the
vApp.
You cannot copy or move a vApp that is deployed.
Example 4‐19 copies the vApp referenced by http://vcloud.example.com/api/v1.0/vApp/vApp‐201 to the vDC
referenced by http://vcloud.example.com/api/v1.0/vdc/5 and provides a new name and description for the
copy. Because the IsSourceDelete element in the request body contains a value of false, the source vApp
is unaffected by the copy operation. (The default value of IsSourceDelete is false. The example includes it
for illustrative purposes only.)
The response is a Task element owned by the copy.
