Method: splitLineItem

Description

The splitLineItem operation assigns some portion of an entitlement line item’s count from the current owner to a related account in a different distribution tier. This operation can either increase the count of an existing entitlement line item at the target account or create a new entitlement, if no matching entitlements exist at the target account. Only publisher users, or channel partner users with sufficient privileges in the account that is the current owner, can perform a splitLineItem operation.

Note: When a line item associated with a maintenance is split, the maintenance is also split. Likewise, when a new entitlement is created as the result of a split, a new maintenance is created and associated with the new entitlement.
