Waits for the specified Operation resource to return as DONE or for
the request to approach the 2 minute deadline, and retrieves the
specified Operation resource. This method differs from the GET method
in that it waits for no more than the default deadline (2 minutes) and
then returns the current state of the operation, which might be DONE
or still in progress. This method is called on a best-effort basis.
Specifically: - In uncommon cases, when the server is overloaded, the
request might return before the default deadline is reached, or might
return after zero seconds. - If the default deadline is reached, there
is no guarantee that the operation is actually done when the method
returns. Be prepared to retry if the operation is not DONE.
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
operation
string
Required. Name of the Operations resource to return.
project
string
Required. Project ID for this request.
region
string
Required. Name of the region for this request.
Raised exceptions
Exceptions
ConnectionError
In case of a network problem (such as DNS failure or refused connection).
HttpError
If the response status is >= 400 (excluding 429 and 503).
TimeoutError
If a long-running operation takes longer to finish than the specified timeout limit.
TypeError
If an operation or function receives an argument of the wrong type.
ValueError
If an operation or function receives an argument of the right type but an inappropriate value. For example, a negative timeout.
OperationError
If the long-running operation finished unsuccessfully.
ResponseTypeError
If the long-running operation returned a response of the wrong type.
Response
If successful, the response contains an instance of Operation.
