Copying Parts

Functions

After creating a multipart upload job, you can specify its upload ID and upload a part to the job in OBS. Alternatively, you can make an API call to add a part (part of an object or the whole object).

NOTICE:

You cannot determine whether a request is successful only based on the status_code in the returned HTTP header. If 200 is returned for status_code, the server has received the request and started to process the request. The copy is successful only when the body in the response contains ETag.

Copy the source object and save it as part1. If a part1 already exists before the copying, the original part1 will be overwritten by the newly copied part1. After the copy is successful, only the latest part1 is displayed. The old part1 data will be deleted. Therefore, ensure that the target part does not exist or has no value when using the part copy operation. Otherwise, data may be deleted by mistake. The source object in the copy process does not change.

Request Syntax

PUT /ObjectName?partNumber=partNum&uploadId=UploadID HTTP/1.1 
Host: bucketname.obs.region.example.com
Date: date
x-obs-copy-source: sourceobject
x-obs-copy-source-range:bytes=start-end
Authorization: authorization
Content-Length: length

Request Parameters

To copy a part, you need to specify the part number of the target part and the multipart upload task number. Table 1 describes the parameters.

**Table 1** Request parameters
Parameter	Description	Mandatory
partNumber	Indicates the ID of a part to be uploaded. Type: integer	Yes
uploadId	Indicates a multipart upload ID. Type: string	Yes
