Main.Sfn.create_activityMethod
create_activity(name)
create_activity(name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Creates an activity. An activity is a task that you write in any programming language and host on any machine that has access to Step Functions. Activities must poll Step Functions using the GetActivityTask API action and respond using SendTask* API actions. This function lets Step Functions know the existence of your activity and returns an identifier for use in a state machine and when polling from the activity. This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes. CreateActivity is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateActivity's idempotency check is based on the activity name. If a following request has different tags values, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case, tags will not be updated, even if they are different.

Arguments

  • name: The name of the activity to create. This name must be unique for your Amazon Web Services account and region for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the Step Functions Developer Guide. A name must not contain: white space brackets &lt; &gt; { } [ ] wildcard characters ? * special characters " # % ^ | ~ ` &amp; , ; : / control characters (U+0000-001F, U+007F-009F) To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "tags": The list of tags to add to a resource. An array of key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide, and Controlling Access Using IAM Tags. Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @.

Main.Sfn.create_state_machineMethod
create_state_machine(definition, name, role_arn)
create_state_machine(definition, name, role_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Creates a state machine. A state machine consists of a collection of states that can do work (Task states), determine to which states to transition next (Choice states), stop an execution with an error (Fail states), and so on. State machines are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information, see Amazon States Language in the Step Functions User Guide. If you set the publish parameter of this API action to true, it publishes version 1 as the first revision of the state machine. This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes. CreateStateMachine is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateStateMachine's idempotency check is based on the state machine name, definition, type, LoggingConfiguration, and TracingConfiguration. The check is also based on the publish and versionDescription parameters. If a following request has a different roleArn or tags, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case, roleArn and tags will not be updated, even if they are different.

Arguments

  • definition: The Amazon States Language definition of the state machine. See Amazon States Language.
  • name: The name of the state machine. A name must not contain: white space brackets &lt; &gt; { } [ ] wildcard characters ? * special characters " # % ^ | ~ ` &amp; , ; : / control characters (U+0000-001F, U+007F-009F) To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.
  • role_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role to use for this state machine.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "loggingConfiguration": Defines what execution history events are logged and where they are logged. By default, the level is set to OFF. For more information see Log Levels in the Step Functions User Guide.
  • "publish": Set to true to publish the first version of the state machine during creation. The default is false.
  • "tags": Tags to be added when creating a state machine. An array of key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide, and Controlling Access Using IAM Tags. Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @.
  • "tracingConfiguration": Selects whether X-Ray tracing is enabled.
  • "type": Determines whether a Standard or Express state machine is created. The default is STANDARD. You cannot update the type of a state machine once it has been created.
  • "versionDescription": Sets description about the state machine version. You can only set the description if the publish parameter is set to true. Otherwise, if you set versionDescription, but publish to false, this API action throws ValidationException.

Main.Sfn.create_state_machine_aliasMethod
create_state_machine_alias(name, routing_configuration)
create_state_machine_alias(name, routing_configuration, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Creates an alias for a state machine that points to one or two versions of the same state machine. You can set your application to call StartExecution with an alias and update the version the alias uses without changing the client's code. You can also map an alias to split StartExecution requests between two versions of a state machine. To do this, add a second RoutingConfig object in the routingConfiguration parameter. You must also specify the percentage of execution run requests each version should receive in both RoutingConfig objects. Step Functions randomly chooses which version runs a given execution based on the percentage you specify. To create an alias that points to a single version, specify a single RoutingConfig object with a weight set to 100. You can create up to 100 aliases for each state machine. You must delete unused aliases using the DeleteStateMachineAlias API action. CreateStateMachineAlias is an idempotent API. Step Functions bases the idempotency check on the stateMachineArn, description, name, and routingConfiguration parameters. Requests that contain the same values for these parameters return a successful idempotent response without creating a duplicate resource. Related operations: DescribeStateMachineAlias ListStateMachineAliases UpdateStateMachineAlias DeleteStateMachineAlias

Arguments

  • name: The name of the state machine alias. To avoid conflict with version ARNs, don't use an integer in the name of the alias.
  • routing_configuration: The routing configuration of a state machine alias. The routing configuration shifts execution traffic between two state machine versions. routingConfiguration contains an array of RoutingConfig objects that specify up to two state machine versions. Step Functions then randomly choses which version to run an execution with based on the weight assigned to each RoutingConfig.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "description": A description for the state machine alias.
source
Main.Sfn.delete_activityMethod
delete_activity(activity_arn)
delete_activity(activity_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Deletes an activity.

Arguments

  • activity_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the activity to delete.
source
Main.Sfn.delete_state_machineMethod
delete_state_machine(state_machine_arn)
delete_state_machine(state_machine_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Deletes a state machine. This is an asynchronous operation. It sets the state machine's status to DELETING and begins the deletion process. A state machine is deleted only when all its executions are completed. On the next state transition, the state machine's executions are terminated. A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN. The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs: The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine. arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails with ValidationException. The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine. arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine This API action also deletes all versions and aliases associated with a state machine. For EXPRESS state machines, the deletion happens eventually (usually in less than a minute). Running executions may emit logs after DeleteStateMachine API is called.

Arguments

  • state_machine_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine to delete.
source
Main.Sfn.delete_state_machine_aliasMethod
delete_state_machine_alias(state_machine_alias_arn)
delete_state_machine_alias(state_machine_alias_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Deletes a state machine alias. After you delete a state machine alias, you can't use it to start executions. When you delete a state machine alias, Step Functions doesn't delete the state machine versions that alias references. Related operations: CreateStateMachineAlias DescribeStateMachineAlias ListStateMachineAliases UpdateStateMachineAlias

Arguments

  • state_machine_alias_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine alias to delete.
source
Main.Sfn.delete_state_machine_versionMethod
delete_state_machine_version(state_machine_version_arn)
delete_state_machine_version(state_machine_version_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Deletes a state machine version. After you delete a version, you can't call StartExecution using that version's ARN or use the version with a state machine alias. Deleting a state machine version won't terminate its in-progress executions. You can't delete a state machine version currently referenced by one or more aliases. Before you delete a version, you must either delete the aliases or update them to point to another state machine version. Related operations: PublishStateMachineVersion ListStateMachineVersions

Arguments

  • state_machine_version_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine version to delete.
source
Main.Sfn.describe_activityMethod
describe_activity(activity_arn)
describe_activity(activity_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Describes an activity. This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

Arguments

  • activity_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the activity to describe.
source
Main.Sfn.describe_executionMethod
describe_execution(execution_arn)
describe_execution(execution_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Provides information about a state machine execution, such as the state machine associated with the execution, the execution input and output, and relevant execution metadata. If you've redriven an execution, you can use this API action to return information about the redrives of that execution. In addition, you can use this API action to return the Map Run Amazon Resource Name (ARN) if the execution was dispatched by a Map Run. If you specify a version or alias ARN when you call the StartExecution API action, DescribeExecution returns that ARN. This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes. Executions of an EXPRESS state machine aren't supported by DescribeExecution unless a Map Run dispatched them.

Arguments

  • execution_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution to describe.
source
Main.Sfn.describe_map_runMethod
describe_map_run(map_run_arn)
describe_map_run(map_run_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Provides information about a Map Run's configuration, progress, and results. If you've redriven a Map Run, this API action also returns information about the redrives of that Map Run. For more information, see Examining Map Run in the Step Functions Developer Guide.

Arguments

  • map_run_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies a Map Run.
source
Main.Sfn.describe_state_machineMethod
describe_state_machine(state_machine_arn)
describe_state_machine(state_machine_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Provides information about a state machine's definition, its IAM role Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and configuration. A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN. The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs: The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine. arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails with ValidationException. The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named PROD. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne:PROD&gt; If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias. The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne&gt; This API action returns the details for a state machine version if the stateMachineArn you specify is a state machine version ARN. This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

Arguments

  • state_machine_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine for which you want the information. If you specify a state machine version ARN, this API returns details about that version. The version ARN is a combination of state machine ARN and the version number separated by a colon (:). For example, stateMachineARN:1.
source
Main.Sfn.describe_state_machine_aliasMethod
describe_state_machine_alias(state_machine_alias_arn)
describe_state_machine_alias(state_machine_alias_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

source
Main.Sfn.describe_state_machine_for_executionMethod
describe_state_machine_for_execution(execution_arn)
describe_state_machine_for_execution(execution_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Provides information about a state machine's definition, its execution role ARN, and configuration. If a Map Run dispatched the execution, this action returns the Map Run Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the response. The state machine returned is the state machine associated with the Map Run. This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes. This API action is not supported by EXPRESS state machines.

Arguments

  • execution_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution you want state machine information for.
source
Main.Sfn.get_activity_taskMethod
get_activity_task(activity_arn)
get_activity_task(activity_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Used by workers to retrieve a task (with the specified activity ARN) which has been scheduled for execution by a running state machine. This initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds as soon as a task becomes available (i.e. an execution of a task of this type is needed.) The maximum time the service holds on to the request before responding is 60 seconds. If no task is available within 60 seconds, the poll returns a taskToken with a null string. This API action isn't logged in CloudTrail. Workers should set their client side socket timeout to at least 65 seconds (5 seconds higher than the maximum time the service may hold the poll request). Polling with GetActivityTask can cause latency in some implementations. See Avoid Latency When Polling for Activity Tasks in the Step Functions Developer Guide.

Arguments

  • activity_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the activity to retrieve tasks from (assigned when you create the task using CreateActivity.)

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "workerName": You can provide an arbitrary name in order to identify the worker that the task is assigned to. This name is used when it is logged in the execution history.
source
Main.Sfn.get_execution_historyMethod
get_execution_history(execution_arn)
get_execution_history(execution_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Returns the history of the specified execution as a list of events. By default, the results are returned in ascending order of the timeStamp of the events. Use the reverseOrder parameter to get the latest events first. If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error. This API action is not supported by EXPRESS state machines.

Arguments

  • execution_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution.

source
Main.Sfn.list_tags_for_resourceMethod
list_tags_for_resource(resource_arn)
list_tags_for_resource(resource_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

List tags for a given resource. Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @.

Arguments

  • resource_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the Step Functions state machine or activity.
source
Main.Sfn.publish_state_machine_versionMethod
publish_state_machine_version(state_machine_arn)
publish_state_machine_version(state_machine_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Creates a version from the current revision of a state machine. Use versions to create immutable snapshots of your state machine. You can start executions from versions either directly or with an alias. To create an alias, use CreateStateMachineAlias. You can publish up to 1000 versions for each state machine. You must manually delete unused versions using the DeleteStateMachineVersion API action. PublishStateMachineVersion is an idempotent API. It doesn't create a duplicate state machine version if it already exists for the current revision. Step Functions bases PublishStateMachineVersion's idempotency check on the stateMachineArn, name, and revisionId parameters. Requests with the same parameters return a successful idempotent response. If you don't specify a revisionId, Step Functions checks for a previously published version of the state machine's current revision. Related operations: DeleteStateMachineVersion ListStateMachineVersions

Arguments

  • state_machine_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "description": An optional description of the state machine version.
  • "revisionId": Only publish the state machine version if the current state machine's revision ID matches the specified ID. Use this option to avoid publishing a version if the state machine changed since you last updated it. If the specified revision ID doesn't match the state machine's current revision ID, the API returns ConflictException. To specify an initial revision ID for a state machine with no revision ID assigned, specify the string INITIAL for the revisionId parameter. For example, you can specify a revisionID of INITIAL when you create a state machine using the CreateStateMachine API action.
source
Main.Sfn.redrive_executionMethod
redrive_execution(execution_arn)
redrive_execution(execution_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Restarts unsuccessful executions of Standard workflows that didn't complete successfully in the last 14 days. These include failed, aborted, or timed out executions. When you redrive an execution, it continues the failed execution from the unsuccessful step and uses the same input. Step Functions preserves the results and execution history of the successful steps, and doesn't rerun these steps when you redrive an execution. Redriven executions use the same state machine definition and execution ARN as the original execution attempt. For workflows that include an Inline Map or Parallel state, RedriveExecution API action reschedules and redrives only the iterations and branches that failed or aborted. To redrive a workflow that includes a Distributed Map state whose Map Run failed, you must redrive the parent workflow. The parent workflow redrives all the unsuccessful states, including a failed Map Run. If a Map Run was not started in the original execution attempt, the redriven parent workflow starts the Map Run. This API action is not supported by EXPRESS state machines. However, you can restart the unsuccessful executions of Express child workflows in a Distributed Map by redriving its Map Run. When you redrive a Map Run, the Express child workflows are rerun using the StartExecution API action. For more information, see Redriving Map Runs. You can redrive executions if your original execution meets the following conditions: The execution status isn't SUCCEEDED. Your workflow execution has not exceeded the redrivable period of 14 days. Redrivable period refers to the time during which you can redrive a given execution. This period starts from the day a state machine completes its execution. The workflow execution has not exceeded the maximum open time of one year. For more information about state machine quotas, see Quotas related to state machine executions. The execution event history count is less than 24,999. Redriven executions append their event history to the existing event history. Make sure your workflow execution contains less than 24,999 events to accommodate the ExecutionRedriven history event and at least one other history event.

Arguments

  • execution_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution to be redriven.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "clientToken": A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. If you don’t specify a client token, the Amazon Web Services SDK automatically generates a client token and uses it for the request to ensure idempotency. The API will return idempotent responses for the last 10 client tokens used to successfully redrive the execution. These client tokens are valid for up to 15 minutes after they are first used.

Main.Sfn.send_task_failureMethod
send_task_failure(task_token)
send_task_failure(task_token, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Used by activity workers, Task states using the callback pattern, and optionally Task states using the job run pattern to report that the task identified by the taskToken failed.

Arguments

  • task_token: The token that represents this task. Task tokens are generated by Step Functions when tasks are assigned to a worker, or in the context object when a workflow enters a task state. See GetActivityTaskOutputtaskToken.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "cause": A more detailed explanation of the cause of the failure.
  • "error": The error code of the failure.
source
Main.Sfn.send_task_heartbeatMethod
send_task_heartbeat(task_token)
send_task_heartbeat(task_token, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Used by activity workers and Task states using the callback pattern, and optionally Task states using the job run pattern to report to Step Functions that the task represented by the specified taskToken is still making progress. This action resets the Heartbeat clock. The Heartbeat threshold is specified in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition (HeartbeatSeconds). This action does not in itself create an event in the execution history. However, if the task times out, the execution history contains an ActivityTimedOut entry for activities, or a TaskTimedOut entry for tasks using the job run or callback pattern. The Timeout of a task, defined in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition, is its maximum allowed duration, regardless of the number of SendTaskHeartbeat requests received. Use HeartbeatSeconds to configure the timeout interval for heartbeats.

Arguments

  • task_token: The token that represents this task. Task tokens are generated by Step Functions when tasks are assigned to a worker, or in the context object when a workflow enters a task state. See GetActivityTaskOutputtaskToken.
source
Main.Sfn.send_task_successMethod
send_task_success(output, task_token)
send_task_success(output, task_token, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Used by activity workers, Task states using the callback pattern, and optionally Task states using the job run pattern to report that the task identified by the taskToken completed successfully.

Arguments

  • output: The JSON output of the task. Length constraints apply to the payload size, and are expressed as bytes in UTF-8 encoding.
  • task_token: The token that represents this task. Task tokens are generated by Step Functions when tasks are assigned to a worker, or in the context object when a workflow enters a task state. See GetActivityTaskOutputtaskToken.

Main.Sfn.start_executionMethod
start_execution(state_machine_arn)
start_execution(state_machine_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Starts a state machine execution. A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN. The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs: The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine. arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails with ValidationException. The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named PROD. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne:PROD&gt; If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias. The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne&gt; If you start an execution with an unqualified state machine ARN, Step Functions uses the latest revision of the state machine for the execution. To start executions of a state machine version, call StartExecution and provide the version ARN or the ARN of an alias that points to the version. StartExecution is idempotent for STANDARD workflows. For a STANDARD workflow, if you call StartExecution with the same name and input as a running execution, the call succeeds and return the same response as the original request. If the execution is closed or if the input is different, it returns a 400 ExecutionAlreadyExists error. You can reuse names after 90 days. StartExecution isn't idempotent for EXPRESS workflows.

Arguments

  • state_machine_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine to execute. The stateMachineArn parameter accepts one of the following inputs: An unqualified state machine ARN – Refers to a state machine ARN that isn't qualified with a version or alias ARN. The following is an example of an unqualified state machine ARN. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne&gt; Step Functions doesn't associate state machine executions that you start with an unqualified ARN with a version. This is true even if that version uses the same revision that the execution used. A state machine version ARN – Refers to a version ARN, which is a combination of state machine ARN and the version number separated by a colon (:). The following is an example of the ARN for version 10. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne&gt;:10 Step Functions doesn't associate executions that you start with a version ARN with any aliases that point to that version. A state machine alias ARN – Refers to an alias ARN, which is a combination of state machine ARN and the alias name separated by a colon (:). The following is an example of the ARN for an alias named PROD. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne:PROD&gt; Step Functions associates executions that you start with an alias ARN with that alias and the state machine version used for that execution.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "input": The string that contains the JSON input data for the execution, for example: "input": "{"first_name" : "test"}" If you don't include any JSON input data, you still must include the two braces, for example: "input": "{}" Length constraints apply to the payload size, and are expressed as bytes in UTF-8 encoding.
  • "name": Optional name of the execution. This name must be unique for your Amazon Web Services account, Region, and state machine for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the Step Functions Developer Guide. If you don't provide a name for the execution, Step Functions automatically generates a universally unique identifier (UUID) as the execution name. A name must not contain: white space brackets &lt; &gt; { } [ ] wildcard characters ? * special characters " # % ^ | ~ ` &amp; , ; : / control characters (U+0000-001F, U+007F-009F) To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.
  • "traceHeader": Passes the X-Ray trace header. The trace header can also be passed in the request payload.
source
Main.Sfn.start_sync_executionMethod
start_sync_execution(state_machine_arn)
start_sync_execution(state_machine_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Starts a Synchronous Express state machine execution. StartSyncExecution is not available for STANDARD workflows. StartSyncExecution will return a 200 OK response, even if your execution fails, because the status code in the API response doesn't reflect function errors. Error codes are reserved for errors that prevent your execution from running, such as permissions errors, limit errors, or issues with your state machine code and configuration. This API action isn't logged in CloudTrail.

Add a tag to a Step Functions resource. An array of key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide, and Controlling Access Using IAM Tags. Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @.

Arguments

  • resource_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the Step Functions state machine or activity.
  • tags: The list of tags to add to a resource. Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @.
source
Main.Sfn.test_stateMethod
test_state(definition, role_arn)
test_state(definition, role_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Accepts the definition of a single state and executes it. You can test a state without creating a state machine or updating an existing state machine. Using this API, you can test the following: A state's input and output processing data flow An Amazon Web Services service integration request and response An HTTP Task request and response You can call this API on only one state at a time. The states that you can test include the following: All Task types except Activity Pass Wait Choice Succeed Fail The TestState API assumes an IAM role which must contain the required IAM permissions for the resources your state is accessing. For information about the permissions a state might need, see IAM permissions to test a state. The TestState API can run for up to five minutes. If the execution of a state exceeds this duration, it fails with the States.Timeout error. TestState doesn't support Activity tasks, .sync or .waitForTaskToken service integration patterns, Parallel, or Map states.

Arguments

  • definition: The Amazon States Language (ASL) definition of the state.
  • role_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution role with the required IAM permissions for the state.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "input": A string that contains the JSON input data for the state.
  • "inspectionLevel": Determines the values to return when a state is tested. You can specify one of the following types: INFO: Shows the final state output. By default, Step Functions sets inspectionLevel to INFO if you don't specify a level. DEBUG: Shows the final state output along with the input and output data processing result. TRACE: Shows the HTTP request and response for an HTTP Task. This level also shows the final state output along with the input and output data processing result. Each of these levels also provide information about the status of the state execution and the next state to transition to.
  • "revealSecrets": Specifies whether or not to include secret information in the test result. For HTTP Tasks, a secret includes the data that an EventBridge connection adds to modify the HTTP request headers, query parameters, and body. Step Functions doesn't omit any information included in the state definition or the HTTP response. If you set revealSecrets to true, you must make sure that the IAM user that calls the TestState API has permission for the states:RevealSecrets action. For an example of IAM policy that sets the states:RevealSecrets permission, see IAM permissions to test a state. Without this permission, Step Functions throws an access denied error. By default, revealSecrets is set to false.

source
Main.Sfn.update_state_machineMethod
update_state_machine(state_machine_arn)
update_state_machine(state_machine_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Updates an existing state machine by modifying its definition, roleArn, or loggingConfiguration. Running executions will continue to use the previous definition and roleArn. You must include at least one of definition or roleArn or you will receive a MissingRequiredParameter error. A qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine. For example, the qualified state machine ARN arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:stateMachineName/mapStateLabel refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in the state machine named stateMachineName. A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN. The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs: The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine. arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails with ValidationException. The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named PROD. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne:PROD&gt; If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias. The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine. arn:&lt;partition&gt;:states:&lt;region&gt;:&lt;account-id&gt;:stateMachine:&lt;myStateMachi ne&gt; After you update your state machine, you can set the publish parameter to true in the same action to publish a new version. This way, you can opt-in to strict versioning of your state machine. Step Functions assigns monotonically increasing integers for state machine versions, starting at version number 1. All StartExecution calls within a few seconds use the updated definition and roleArn. Executions started immediately after you call UpdateStateMachine may use the previous state machine definition and roleArn.

Arguments

  • state_machine_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "definition": The Amazon States Language definition of the state machine. See Amazon States Language.
  • "loggingConfiguration": Use the LoggingConfiguration data type to set CloudWatch Logs options.
  • "publish": Specifies whether the state machine version is published. The default is false. To publish a version after updating the state machine, set publish to true.
  • "roleArn": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role of the state machine.
  • "tracingConfiguration": Selects whether X-Ray tracing is enabled.
  • "versionDescription": An optional description of the state machine version to publish. You can only specify the versionDescription parameter if you've set publish to true.
source
Main.Sfn.update_state_machine_aliasMethod
update_state_machine_alias(state_machine_alias_arn)
update_state_machine_alias(state_machine_alias_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Updates the configuration of an existing state machine alias by modifying its description or routingConfiguration. You must specify at least one of the description or routingConfiguration parameters to update a state machine alias. UpdateStateMachineAlias is an idempotent API. Step Functions bases the idempotency check on the stateMachineAliasArn, description, and routingConfiguration parameters. Requests with the same parameters return an idempotent response. This operation is eventually consistent. All StartExecution requests made within a few seconds use the latest alias configuration. Executions started immediately after calling UpdateStateMachineAlias may use the previous routing configuration. Related operations: CreateStateMachineAlias DescribeStateMachineAlias ListStateMachineAliases DeleteStateMachineAlias

Arguments

  • state_machine_alias_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine alias.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "description": A description of the state machine alias.
  • "routingConfiguration": The routing configuration of the state machine alias. An array of RoutingConfig objects that specifies up to two state machine versions that the alias starts executions for.
source
Main.Sfn.validate_state_machine_definitionMethod
validate_state_machine_definition(definition)
validate_state_machine_definition(definition, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Validates the syntax of a state machine definition. You can validate that a state machine definition is correct without creating a state machine resource. Step Functions will implicitly perform the same syntax check when you invoke CreateStateMachine and UpdateStateMachine. State machine definitions are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information on Amazon States Language see Amazon States Language (ASL). Suggested uses for ValidateStateMachineDefinition: Integrate automated checks into your code review or Continuous Integration (CI) process to validate state machine definitions before starting deployments. Run the validation from a Git pre-commit hook to check your state machine definitions before committing them to your source repository. Errors found in the state machine definition will be returned in the response as a list of diagnostic elements, rather than raise an exception.

Arguments

  • definition: The Amazon States Language definition of the state machine. For more information, see Amazon States Language (ASL).

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "type": The target type of state machine for this definition. The default is STANDARD.
