transact-write-items

Description

TransactWriteItems is a synchronous write operation that groups up to 25 action requests. These actions can target items in different tables, but not in different AWS accounts or Regions, and no two actions can target the same item. For example, you cannot both ConditionCheck and Update the same item. The aggregate size of the items in the transaction cannot exceed 4 MB.

The actions are completed atomically so that either all of them succeed, or all of them fail. They are defined by the following objects:

  • Put — Initiates a PutItem operation to write a new item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be written, the name of the table to write it in, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the write to succeed, a list of the item’s attributes, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item’s attributes if the condition is not met.

  • Update — Initiates an UpdateItem operation to update an existing item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be updated, the name of the table where it resides, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the update to succeed, an expression that defines one or more attributes to be updated, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item’s attributes if the condition is not met.

  • Delete — Initiates a DeleteItem operation to delete an existing item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be deleted, the name of the table where it resides, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the deletion to succeed, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item’s attributes if the condition is not met.

  • ConditionCheck — Applies a condition to an item that is not being modified by the transaction. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be checked, the name of the table where it resides, a condition expression that must be satisfied for the transaction to succeed, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item’s attributes if the condition is not met.

DynamoDB rejects the entire TransactWriteItems request if any of the following is true:

  • A condition in one of the condition expressions is not met.

  • An ongoing operation is in the process of updating the same item.

  • There is insufficient provisioned capacity for the transaction to be completed.

  • An item size becomes too large (bigger than 400 KB), a local secondary index (LSI) becomes too large, or a similar validation error occurs because of changes made by the transaction.

  • The aggregate size of the items in the transaction exceeds 4 MB.

  • There is a user error, such as an invalid data format.

Options

--transact-items (list)

An ordered array of up to 25 TransactWriteItem objects, each of which contains a ConditionCheck , Put , Update , or Delete object. These can operate on items in different tables, but the tables must reside in the same AWS account and Region, and no two of them can operate on the same item.

(structure)

A list of requests that can perform update, put, delete, or check operations on multiple items in one or more tables atomically.

ConditionCheck -> (structure)

A request to perform a check item operation.

Key -> (map)

The primary key of the item to be checked. Each element consists of an attribute name and a value for that attribute.

key -> (string)

--return-consumed-capacity (string)

Determines the level of detail about provisioned throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

  • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed. Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem , do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

  • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

  • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

Possible values:

  • INDEXES

  • TOTAL

  • NONE

--return-item-collection-metrics (string)

Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to SIZE , the response includes statistics about item collections (if any), that were modified during the operation and are returned in the response. If set to NONE (the default), no statistics are returned.

Possible values:

  • SIZE

  • NONE

--client-request-token (string)

Providing a ClientRequestToken makes the call to TransactWriteItems idempotent, meaning that multiple identical calls have the same effect as one single call.

Although multiple identical calls using the same client request token produce the same result on the server (no side effects), the responses to the calls might not be the same. If the ReturnConsumedCapacity> parameter is set, then the initial TransactWriteItems call returns the amount of write capacity units consumed in making the changes. Subsequent TransactWriteItems calls with the same client token return the number of read capacity units consumed in reading the item.

A client request token is valid for 10 minutes after the first request that uses it is completed. After 10 minutes, any request with the same client token is treated as a new request. Do not resubmit the same request with the same client token for more than 10 minutes, or the result might not be idempotent.

If you submit a request with the same client token but a change in other parameters within the 10-minute idempotency window, DynamoDB returns an IdempotentParameterMismatch exception.

--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.

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Example 1: To write items atomically to one or more tables

The following transact-write-items example updates one item and deletes another. The operation fails if either operation fails, or if either item contains a Rating attribute.

aws dynamodb transact-write-items \
    --transact-items file://transact-items.json \
    --return-consumed-capacity TOTAL \
    --return-item-collection-metrics SIZE

Example 2: To write items atomically using a client request token

The following command uses a client request token to make the call to transact-write-items idempotent, meaning that multiple calls have the same effect as one single call.

aws dynamodb transact-write-items \
    --transact-items file://transact-items.json \
    --client-request-token abc123

Contents of the transact-items.json file:

[
    {
        "Update": {
            "Key": {
                "Artist": {"S": "Acme Band"},
                "SongTitle": {"S": "Happy Day"}
            },
            "UpdateExpression": "SET AlbumTitle = :newval",
            "ExpressionAttributeValues": {
                ":newval": {"S": "Updated Album Title"}
            },
            "TableName": "MusicCollection",
            "ConditionExpression": "attribute_not_exists(Rating)"
        }
    },
    {
        "Delete": {
            "Key": {
                "Artist": {"S": "No One You Know"},
                "SongTitle": {"S": "Call Me Today"}
            },
            "TableName": "MusicCollection",
            "ConditionExpression": "attribute_not_exists(Rating)"
        }
    }
]

This command produces no output.

SizeEstimateRangeGB -> (list)

An estimate of item collection size, in gigabytes. This value is a two-element array containing a lower bound and an upper bound for the estimate. The estimate includes the size of all the items in the table, plus the size of all attributes projected into all of the local secondary indexes on that table. Use this estimate to measure whether a local secondary index is approaching its size limit.

The estimate is subject to change over time; therefore, do not rely on the precision or accuracy of the estimate.
