When a 202 response is returned it means that your operation has successfully started. It is important to note that it does not mean that your operation has successfully completed. This applies to the following operation:
- Start or stop a results database
- Start or stop a grid
- Start or stop a test environment
- Restart or terminate a cloud server
Any retries that may be needed are specified during the creation of the respective object in the list above. Use a get request to retrieve information about the current state of your operation.
For example, after you run a terminate a cloud server operation, a 202 response is returned to indicate that the cloud server termination has begun. Subsequently run a Get a cloud server operation for the cloud server in question, to see its current status. The status is terminating until it is complete at which point the Get a cloud server operation shows a terminated status.
