Method: projects.locations.workflowTemplates.instantiate

Instantiates a template and begins execution.

The returned Operation can be used to track execution of workflow by polling operations.get. The Operation will complete when entire workflow is finished.

The running workflow can be aborted via operations.cancel. This will cause any inflight jobs to be cancelled and workflow-owned clusters to be deleted.

The Operation.metadata will be WorkflowMetadata. Also see Using WorkflowMetadata.

On successful completion, Operation.response will be Empty.

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation

  "version": integer,
  "requestId": string,
  "parameters": {
    string: string,
    ...
  }
}
Fields
version

integer

Optional. The version of workflow template to instantiate. If specified, the workflow will be instantiated only if the current version of the workflow template has the supplied version.

This option cannot be used to instantiate a previous version of workflow template.
requestId

parameters

map (key: string, value: string)

Optional. Map from parameter names to values that should be used for those parameters. Values may not exceed 1000 characters.
