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 AWS 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 AWS account and region for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the AWS Step Functions Developer Guide. A name must not contain: white space brackets < > { } [ ] wildcard characters ? * special characters " # % ^ | ~ ` & , ; : / 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 AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide, and Controlling Access Using IAM Tags. Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @.

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 AWS Step Functions User Guide. 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. 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 < > { } [ ] wildcard characters ? * special characters " # % ^ | ~ ` & , ; : / 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 AWS Step Functions User Guide.
• "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 AWS 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 AWS 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.

delete_activity(activity_arn)

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. For EXPRESSstate machines, the deletion will happen eventually (usually 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.

describe_activity(activity_arn)

Arguments

• activity_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the activity to describe.

describe_execution(execution_arn)
describe_execution(execution_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Describes an execution. 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 to describe.

describe_state_machine(state_machine_arn)
describe_state_machine(state_machine_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Arguments

• execution_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution you want state machine information for.

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. 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:

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 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 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.

send_task_success(output, task_token)
