Output only. Identifier. Name of the datasource to create. It must have the format"projects/{project}/locations/{location}/backupVaults/{backupvault}/dataSources/{datasource}". {datasource} cannot be changed after creation. It must be between 3-63 characters long and must be unique within the backup vault.
Required. Field mask is used to specify the fields to be overwritten in the DataSource resource by the update. The fields specified in the updateMask are relative to the resource, not the full request. A field will be overwritten if it is in the mask. If the user does not provide a mask then the request will fail.
This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
requestId
string
Optional. An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes since the first request.
For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.
The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
allowMissing
boolean
Optional. Enable upsert.
Request body
The request body contains an instance of DataSource.
Response body
If successful, the response body contains an instance of Operation.
