Copies a Thing Specification Language (TSL) model from a source product to a destination product.

Usage notes

  • If a destination product is published, you must call the CancelReleaseProduct operation to unpublish the product before you can copy a TSL model.
  • The categories of the source product and destination product must be the same. The product category is indicated by the CategoryKey parameter. You can call the QueryProduct operation and view the CategoryKey parameter of a product in the returned result.
  • You must specify the version of the TSL model that you want to copy by using the SourceModelVersion parameter in the request. Otherwise, the CopyThingModel operation fails.

QPS limits

Note The Resource Access Management (RAM) users of an Alibaba Cloud account share the quota of the account.
