Copy objects

Copy a small object

You can use CopyObject to copy an object that is up to 1 GB in size from a source bucket to a destination bucket within the same region.

• By default, the x-oss-copy-source header in a CopyObject request specifies the current version of the object to copy. If the current version of the object to copy is a delete marker, 404 Not Found is returned to indicate that the object does not exist. You can add a version ID in the x-oss-copy-source header to copy a specified object version. Delete markers cannot be copied.
• You can copy a previous version of an object to the same bucket. The copied previous version becomes the current version of the object. This way, you can restore an object to a specified previous version.
• If versioning is enabled for the destination bucket, OSS generates a unique version ID for the destination object. The version ID is returned in the response as the x-oss-version-id header value. If versioning is disabled or suspended for the destination bucket, OSS generates a version whose version ID is null for the destination object and overwrites the original version whose version ID is null.
• Append objects in a bucket with versioning enabled or suspended cannot be copied.

The following code provides an example on how to copy a small object:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize the OSS account information. */
    std::string AccessKeyId = "yourAccessKeyId";
    std::string AccessKeySecret = "yourAccessKeySecret";
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    std::string SourceBucketName = "yourSourceBucketName";
    std::string CopyBucketName = "yourCopyBucketName";
    std::string SourceObjectName = "yourSourceObjectName";
    std::string CopyObjectName = "yourCopyObjectName";

    /* Initialize network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    OssClient client(Endpoint, AccessKeyId, AccessKeySecret, conf);

    CopyObjectRequest request(CopyBucketName, CopyObjectName);
    request.setCopySource(SourceBucketName, SourceObjectName);
    request.setVersionId("yourSourceObjectVersionId");

    /* Copy the specified version of the source object.*/
    auto outcome = client.CopyObject(request);

    if (outcome.isSuccess()) {
        std::cout << "versionid:" << outcome.result().VersionId() << std::endl;
    }
    else {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "CopyObject fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        ShutdownSdk();
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}

Copy a large object

To copy an object larger than 1 GB, you must split the object into parts and copy them sequentially by using UploadPartCopy.

If versionId is not specified in the request and the current version of the source object is a delete marker, OSS returns 404 Not Found. If versionId is specified in the request and the specified version of the source object is a delete marker, OSS returns 400 Bad Request.

The following code provides an example on how to use multipart copy to copy large objects:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
#include <sstream>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize the OSS account information. */
    std::string AccessKeyId = "yourAccessKeyId";
    std::string AccessKeySecret = "yourAccessKeySecret";
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    std::string SourceBucketName = "yourSourceBucketName";
    std::string CopyBucketName = "yourCopyBucketName";
    std::string SourceObjectName = "yourSourceObjectName";
    std::string CopyObjectName = "yourCopyObjectName";

    /* Initialize network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    OssClient client(Endpoint, AccessKeyId, AccessKeySecret, conf);

    auto getObjectMetaReq = GetObjectMetaRequest(SourceBucketName, SourceObjectName);
    getObjectMetaReq.setVersionId("yourSourceObjectVersionid");
    auto getObjectMetaResult = GetObjectMeta(getObjectMetaReq);
    if (! getObjectMetaResult.isSuccess()) {
        std::cout << "GetObjectMeta fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        ShutdownSdk();
        return -1;
    }
    /* Query the size of the source object.*/
    auto objectSize = getObjectMetaResult.result().ContentLength();

    /* Copy the large source object.*/
    InitiateMultipartUploadRequest initUploadRequest(BucketName, ObjectName, metaData);

    /* Initiate a multipart copy task.*/
    auto uploadIdResult = client.InitiateMultipartUpload(initUploadRequest);
    auto uploadId = uploadIdResult.result().UploadId();
    int64_t partSize = 100 * 1024;
    PartList partETagList;
    int partCount = static_cast<int>(objectSize / partSize);
    /* Calculate the number of parts to upload. */
    if (objectSize % partSize != 0) {
        partCount++;
    }

    /* Copy each part sequentially.*/
    for (int i = 1; i <= partCount; i++) {
        auto skipBytes = partSize * (i - 1);
        auto size = (partSize < objectSize - skipBytes) ? partSize : (objectSize - skipBytes);
        auto uploadPartCopyReq = UploadPartCopyRequest(CopyBucketName, CopyObjectName, SourceBucketName, SourceObjectName,uploadId, i + 1);
        uploadPartCopyReq.setCopySourceRange(skipBytes, skipBytes + size -1);
        uploadPartCopyReq.setVersionId("yourSourceObjectVersionid");
        auto uploadPartOutcome = client.UploadPartCopy(uploadPartCopyReq);
        if (uploadPartOutcome.isSuccess()) {
            Part part(i, uploadPartOutcome.result().ETag());
            partETagList.push_back(part);
        }
        else {
            std::cout << "UploadPartCopy fail" <<
            ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
            ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
            ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        }
    }

    /* Complete the multipart copy task. */
    CompleteMultipartUploadRequest request(CopyBucketName, CopyObjectName, partETagList, uploadId);
    auto outcome = client.CompleteMultipartUpload(request);

    if (outcome.isSuccess()) {
        std::cout << "versionid:" << outcome.result().VersionId() << std::endl;
    }
    else {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "CompleteMultipartUpload fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        ShutdownSdk();
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}
