Method: googleapis.compute.beta.zoneOperations.wait
Waits for the specified Operation resource to return asDONE or forthe request to approach the 2 minute deadline, and retrieves thespecified Operation resource. This method waits for no more than the 2minutes and then returns the current state of the operation, which mightbeDONE or still in progress. This method is called on a best-effortbasis. Specifically: - In uncommon cases, when the server is overloaded,the request might return before the default deadline is reached, ormight return after zero seconds. - If the default deadline is reached,there is no guarantee that the operation is actually done when themethod returns. Be prepared to retry if the operation is notDONE.
This method waits—the workflow execution is paused—until the operation iscomplete, fails, or times out. The default timeout value is1800 seconds (30minutes) and can be changed to a maximum value of31536000 seconds (one year)for long-running operations using theconnector_params field. See theConnectors reference.
The connector uses polling to monitor the long-running operation, which mightgenerate additional billable steps. For more information about retries andlong-running operations, refer toUnderstand connectors.
The polling policy for the long-running operation can be configured. To set theconnector-specific parameters (connector_params), refer toInvoke a connector call.
