Instantiates a template and begins execution.The returned Operation can be used to track execution of workflow by polling operations.get. The Operation will complete when entire workflow is finished.The running workflow can be aborted via operations.cancel. This will cause any inflight jobs to be cancelled and workflow-owned clusters to be deleted.The Operation.metadata will be WorkflowMetadata (https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/docs/reference/rpc/google.cloud.dataproc.v1#workflowmetadata). Also see Using WorkflowMetadata (https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/docs/concepts/workflows/debugging#using_workflowmetadata).On successful completion, Operation.response will be Empty.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: dataproc1 --scope <scope> projects locations-workflow-templates-instantiate ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <name> (string)
    • Required. The resource name of the workflow template, as described in https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/resource_names. For projects.regions.workflowTemplates.instantiate, the resource name of the template has the following format: projects/{project_id}/regions/{region}/workflowTemplates/{template_id} For projects.locations.workflowTemplates.instantiate, the resource name of the template has the following format: projects/{project_id}/locations/{location}/workflowTemplates/{template_id}

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

InstantiateWorkflowTemplateRequest:
  parameters: { string: string }
  request-id: string
  version: integer

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . parameters=key=clita
    • Optional. Map from parameter names to values that should be used for those parameters. Values may not exceed 1000 characters.
    • the value will be associated with the given key
  • request-id=sit
    • Optional. A tag that prevents multiple concurrent workflow instances with the same tag from running. This mitigates risk of concurrent instances started due to retries.It is recommended to always set this value to a UUID (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier).The tag must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The maximum length is 40 characters.
  • version=42
    • Optional. The version of workflow template to instantiate. If specified, the workflow will be instantiated only if the current version of the workflow template has the supplied version.This option cannot be used to instantiate a previous version of workflow template.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
