list-activity-types

Description

Returns information about all activities registered in the specified domain that match the specified name and registration status. The result includes information like creation date, current status of the activity, etc. The results may be split into multiple pages. To retrieve subsequent pages, make the call again using the nextPageToken returned by the initial call.

Access Control

You can use IAM policies to control this action’s access to Amazon SWF resources as follows:

  • Use a Resource element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.

  • Use an Action element to allow or deny permission to call this action.

  • You cannot use an IAM policy to constrain this action’s parameters.

If the caller doesn’t have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails. The associated event attribute’s cause parameter is set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED . For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows in the Amazon SWF Developer Guide .

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

list-activity-types is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: typeInfos

Synopsis

  list-activity-types
--domain <value>
[--name <value>]
--registration-status <value>
[--reverse-order | --no-reverse-order]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options

--domain (string)

The name of the domain in which the activity types have been registered.

--name (string)

If specified, only lists the activity types that have this name.

--registration-status (string)

Specifies the registration status of the activity types to list.

Possible values:

  • REGISTERED

  • DEPRECATED

--reverse-order | --no-reverse-order (boolean)

When set to true , returns the results in reverse order. By default, the results are returned in ascending alphabetical order by name of the activity types.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Listing Activity Types

To get a list of the activity types for a domain, use swf list-activity-types. The --domain and --registration-status arguments are required. Here’s a simple example:

aws swf list-activity-types --domain DataFrobtzz --registration-status REGISTERED

Results:

{
    "typeInfos": [
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.451,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "confirm-user-email"
            },
            "description": "subscribe confirm-user-email activity"
        },
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.709,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "confirm-user-phone"
            },
            "description": "subscribe confirm-user-phone activity"
        },
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454149.871,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "get-subscription-info"
            },
            "description": "subscribe get-subscription-info activity"
        },
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.909,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "send-subscription-success"
            },
            "description": "subscribe send-subscription-success activity"
        },
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.085,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "subscribe-user-sns"
            },
            "description": "subscribe subscribe-user-sns activity"
        }
    ]
}

You can use the --name argument to select only activity types with a particular name:

aws swf list-activity-types --domain DataFrobtzz --registration-status REGISTERED --name "send-subscription-success"

Results:

{
    "typeInfos": [
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.909,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "send-subscription-success"
            },
            "description": "subscribe send-subscription-success activity"
        }
    ]
}

To retrieve results in pages, you can set the --maximum-page-size argument. If more results are returned than will fit in a page of results, a “nextPageToken” will be returned in the result set:

aws swf list-activity-types --domain DataFrobtzz --registration-status REGISTERED --maximum-page-size 2

Results:

{
    "nextPageToken": "AAAAKgAAAAEAAAAAAAAAA1Gp1BelJq+PmHvAnDxJYbup8+0R4LVtbXLDl7QNY7C3OpHo9Sz06D/GuFz1OyC73umBQ1tOPJ/gC/aYpzDMqUIWIA1T9W0s2DryyZX4OC/6Lhk9/o5kdsuWMSBkHhgaZjgwp3WJINIFJFdaSMxY2vYAX7AtRtpcqJuBDDRE9RaRqDGYqIYUMltarkiqpSY1ZVveBasBvlvyUb/WGAaqehiDz7/JzLT/wWNNUMOd+Nhe",
    "typeInfos": [
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.451,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "confirm-user-email"
            },
            "description": "subscribe confirm-user-email activity"
        },
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.709,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "confirm-user-phone"
            },
            "description": "subscribe confirm-user-phone activity"
        }
    ]
}

You can pass the nextPageToken value to the next call to list-activity-types in the --next-page-token argument, retrieving the next page of results:

aws swf list-activity-types --domain DataFrobtzz --registration-status REGISTERED --maximum-page-size 2
--next-page-token "AAAAKgAAAAEAAAAAAAAAA1Gp1BelJq+PmHvAnDxJYbup8+0R4LVtbXLDl7QNY7C3OpHo9Sz06D/GuFz1OyC73umBQ1tOPJ/gC/aYpzDMqUIWIA1T9W0s2DryyZX4OC/6Lhk9/o5kdsuWMSBkHhgaZjgwp3WJINIFJFdaSMxY2vYAX7AtRtpcqJuBDDRE9RaRqDGYqIYUMltarkiqpSY1ZVveBasBvlvyUb/WGAaqehiDz7/JzLT/wWNNUMOd+Nhe"

Result:

{
    "nextPageToken": "AAAAKgAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAw+7LZ4GRZPzTqBHsp2wBxWB8m1sgLCclgCuq3J+h/m3+vOfFqtkcjLwV5cc4OjNAzTCuq/XcylPumGwkjbajtqpZpbqOcVNfjFxGoi0LB2Olbvv0krbUISBvlpFPmSWpDSZJsxg5UxCcweteSlFn1PNSZ/MoinBZo8OTkjMuzcsTuKOzH9wCaR8ITcALJ3SaqHU3pyIRS5hPmFA3OLIc8zaAepjlaujo6hntNSCruB4"
    "typeInfos": [
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454149.871,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "get-subscription-info"
            },
            "description": "subscribe get-subscription-info activity"
        },
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.909,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "send-subscription-success"
            },
            "description": "subscribe send-subscription-success activity"
        }
    ]
}

If there are still more results to return, “nextPageToken” will be returned with the results. When there are no more pages of results to return, “nextPageToken” will not be returned in the result set.

You can use the --reverse-order argument to reverse the order of the returned results. This also affects paged results:

aws swf list-activity-types --domain DataFrobtzz --registration-status REGISTERED --maximum-page-size 2 --reverse-order

Results:

{
    "nextPageToken": "AAAAKgAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAwXcpu5ePSyQkrC+8WMbmSrenuZC2ZkIXQYBPB/b9xIOVkj+bMEFhGj0KmmJ4rF7iddhjf7UMYCsfGkEn7mk+yMCgVc1JxDWmB0EH46bhcmcLmYNQihMDmUWocpr7To6/R7CLu0St1gkFayxOidJXErQW0zdNfQaIWAnF/cwioBbXlkz1fQzmDeU3M5oYGMPQIrUqkPq7pMEW0q0lK5eDN97NzFYdZZ/rlcLDWPZhUjY",
    "typeInfos": [
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.085,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "subscribe-user-sns"
            },
            "description": "subscribe subscribe-user-sns activity"
        },
        {
            "status": "REGISTERED",
            "creationDate": 1371454150.909,
            "activityType": {
                "version": "1",
                "name": "send-subscription-success"
            },
            "description": "subscribe send-subscription-success activity"
        }
    ]
}
