Copies an already existing Vertex AI Model into the specified Location.
The source Model must exist in the same Project. When copying custom
Models, the users themselves are responsible for Model.metadata content
to be region-agnostic, as well as making sure that any resources (e.g.
files) it depends on remain accessible.
This method waits—the workflow execution is paused—until the operation is
complete, fails, or times out. The default timeout value is 1800 seconds (30
minutes) and can be changed to a maximum value of 31536000 seconds (one year)
for long-running operations using the connector_params field. See the
Connectors reference.
The connector uses polling to monitor the long-running operation, which might
generate additional billable steps. For more information about retries and
long-running operations, refer to Understand connectors.
The polling policy for the long-running operation can be configured. To set the
connector-specific parameters (connector_params), refer to
Invoke a connector call.
Arguments
Parameters
parent
string
Required. The resource name of the Location into which to copy the Model. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}
region
string
Required. Region of the HTTP endpoint. For example, if region is set to us-central1, the endpoint https://us-central1-integrations.googleapis.com will be used. See service endpoints.
