Method: googleapis.workflowexecutions.v1.projects.locations.workflows.executions.create

Creates a new execution using the latest revision of the given workflow. Input parameters must be represented as a JSON string.

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.

The connector uses polling to monitor the long-running operation, which might generate additional billable steps. The polling policy for the long-running operation can be configured. For example, if you set skip_polling to True, the connector invocation call is non-blocking if the initial request succeeds; otherwise, retries might occur.

For more information about connector-specific parameters (connector_params), see Invoke a connector call.

For more information about retries and long-running operations, see Understand connectors.

Note that if skip_polling is set to True, create() returns a response containing an instance of Execution unlike the run() method which doesn't return anything. (If skip_polling is set to False, run() returns the workflow execution's result as a JSON-decoded object.)

Arguments

Parameters
parent

string

Required. Name of the workflow for which an execution should be created. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/workflows/{workflow} The latest revision of the workflow will be used.
body

object (Execution)

Required.

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 Execution.
