Asynchronous operations

Written by

Updated at April 23, 2025

Any operations that change the state of a resource (create, change, or delete it) are asynchronous signature operations. This means that when they are called, the server returns the Operation object.

The Operation object contains operation data, e.g., its status, ID, creation date, etc. You can use this object for operation status monitoring. The operation status is displayed in the done field. If the field value is true, the operation is completed; otherwise, the operation is still in progress.

When calling the Create method, the returned Operation object will contain the ID of the resource being created, even if the operation is not complete yet. Using this ID, you can access the resource via the Get or List method.

If an error occurs while performing an asynchronous operation, the server aborts all running procedures and returns the system to the previous state. The resources created during the operation are deleted. The Operation object will get a new error field with error description. However, the operation is considered completed only when the system entirely rolls back to the previous state. For more information, see the Operation object description.
