Update property metadata

Question

Hi,
I transfered a KM folder from one portal to another.
How can I set propety metadata from one namespace to another by code?
For example I have a metadata called "Name" under namespace "http://mydomain1".
The documents I transfered have metadata called "Name" under namespace "http://mydomain2".
How can I copy the metadata from the first namespace to the second by code?

Hi,
Try something like this:
IPropertyName PropNameOld = PropertyName.getPN("http://mydomain1", "Name");
IPropertyName PropNameNew = PropertyName.getPN("http://mydomain2", "Name");
IProperty PropOld = resource.getProperty(PropNameOld);
IProperty PropNew = new Property(PropNameNew, PropOld.getStringValue());
if (resource.isVersioned()) {
     IMutablePropertyMap mutPropMap =
     resource.getProperties().getMutable();
     mutPropMap.put(PropNew);
     IContent res_content = resource.getContent();
     if (!resource.isCheckedOut()) {
          resource.checkOut();
     resource.checkIn(res_content, mutPropMap, true);
} else {
     resource.setProperty(PropNew);
