Task operation names represent the requests that you can configure as blocking tasks.

To configure a request type as a blocking task, place the operation name in an Operation element and add that element to the cloud's BlockingTaskOperations element. See Retrieve or Update Blocking Task Settings.
Note: These operation names also appear in the operationName attribute of the Task element that tracks the operation.
