mlcp
When you use mlcp to ingest files from MarkLogic 9 or later to another MarkLogic 9 or later instance, the protected paths and node-update permissions will be preserved.
If you use mlcp to export a database archive that includes documents with the node-update permission, and then import the archive into MarkLogic 8.0-6 or earlier, the behavior is undefined. If you import the archive in MarkLogic 8.0-7 or a later version of MarkLogic 8, the node-update permission is silently discarded.
Similarly, if you use mlcp to copy documents from MarkLogic 9 or later to MarkLogic 8.0-6 or earlier, the behavior is undefined. If your copy destination is MarkLogic 8.0-7 or a later version of MarkLogic 8, the node-update permission is silently discarded.
