Creates an instance partition and begins preparing it to be used. The returned long-running operation can be used to track the progress of preparing the new instance partition. The instance partition name is assigned by the caller. If the named instance partition already exists, CreateInstancePartition returns ALREADY_EXISTS. Immediately upon completion of this request: * The instance partition is readable via the API, with all requested attributes but no allocated resources. Its state is CREATING. Until completion of the returned operation: * Cancelling the operation renders the instance partition immediately unreadable via the API. * The instance partition can be deleted. * All other attempts to modify the instance partition are rejected. Upon completion of the returned operation: * Billing for all successfully-allocated resources begins (some types may have lower than the requested levels). * Databases can start using this instance partition. * The instance partition's allocated resource levels are readable via the API. * The instance partition's state becomes READY. The returned long-running operation will have a name of the format /operations/ and can be used to track creation of the instance partition. The metadata field type is CreateInstancePartitionMetadata. The response field type is InstancePartition, if successful.
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.

Arguments
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
parent |
Required. The name of the instance in which to create the instance partition. Values are of the form |
body |
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 Operation.
