title: How can I use REST to copy an object in Documentum 7.x
body: <p>I am looking to create a physical copy of a sub type of dm_document using the DCTM REST API.  I am pretty new to the DCTM world, especially when it comes to the REST API.</p>
  
  <p>The use case that I have is when a certain action happens, I need to clone the document (meta &amp; content) and alter 1 or 2 pieces of meta and save that new document back the repository.  </p>
  
  <p>I have reviewed all the examples located here: <a href="https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-34346" rel="nofollow">https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-34346</a> however, I am unable to figure out how to retrieve the document &amp; content using this example (Spring Rest) having just the r_object_id.  I have used this example to create content, therefore if I could just download the content &amp; meta to my application, I could do the rest.  However no matter what I try - I can't seem to get the data using the r_object_id.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone could provide a pointer, it would help me out a lot.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
