Full name: projects.transferConfigs.startManualRuns
Manually initiates transfer runs. You can schedule these runs in two ways:
For a specific point in time using the 'requestedRunTime' parameter.
For a period between 'startTime' (inclusive) and 'endTime' (exclusive).
If scheduling a single run, it is set to execute immediately (scheduleTime equals the current time). When scheduling multiple runs within a time range, the first run starts now, and subsequent runs are delayed by 15 seconds each.
