Moves a folder under a new resource parent. Returns an Operation which
can be used to track the progress of the folder move workflow. Upon
success, the Operation.response field will be populated with the moved
folder. Upon failure, a FolderOperationError categorizing the failure
cause will be returned - if the failure occurs synchronously then the
FolderOperationError will be returned in the Status.details field.
If it occurs asynchronously, then the FolderOperation will be returned
in the Operation.error field. In addition, the Operation.metadata
field will be populated with a FolderOperation message as an aid to
stateless clients. Folder moves will be rejected if they violate either
the naming, height, or fanout constraints described in the CreateFolder
documentation. The caller must have resourcemanager.folders.move
permission on the folder's current and proposed new parent.
This method waitsโthe workflow execution is pausedโuntil 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. See the
Connectors reference.
The connector uses polling to monitor the long-running operation, which might
generate additional billable steps. For more information about retries and
long-running operations, refer to Understand connectors.
The polling policy for the long-running operation can be configured. To set the
connector-specific parameters (connector_params), refer to
Invoke a connector call.
