Create a Tag Namespace
post
/20160918/tagNamespaces
Create a new tag namespace in the specified compartment. Specify the tenancy OCID for the compartment OCID in the request.
Specify a name for the tag namespace, which must be unique across all tag namespaces in your tenancy and cannot be changed. The name can contain any ASCII character except the space character or period (.). Names are case insensitive. For example, "myNamespace" and "mynamespace" are not allowed in the same tenancy. If you specify a name that is already in use in the tenancy, a 409 error is returned.
Specify a description for the namespace. It does not need to be unique, and you can change it.

Header Parameters
-
opc-retry-token: string
Minimum Length:
1
Maximum Length:64
A token that uniquely identifies a request so it can be retried in case of a timeout or server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24 hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request may be rejected).
Request object for creating a new tag namespace.
