Queries further details of the tasks that are generated based on API operations. For example, you can call this operation to view the details of the task when you create a cluster.

  • You can call this operation to view the details of a task that is generated by a specific API operation or in the console. The system calls the specific API operation when you perform an operation in the console. For example, you can view the details of the task when you call the CreateDBCluster operation or create a cluster in the console.
  • You can view the details of tasks that are generated only when you call the CreateDBCluster operation to create a cluster and CreationOption is not set to CreateGdnStandby.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
