Description

This method updates the metadata of the dataset represented by the dest name object to indicate that it was copied (or moved) from the dataset represented by the src name object.

Remarks

The metadata properties that are updated depend on which metadata synchronizers are enabled, but typically a new dataqual/lineage/procstep element is added (along with child elements) indicating that the dataset was copied from the pSrc location, and the idinfo/citation/citeinfo/onlink property will be changed if the FGDCSynchronizer is enabled.

As noted in the interface description, it usually isn't necessary to call this method, since most ways of copying a dataset through ArcCatalog and ArcObjects will perform this operation automatically.
