register-activity-type

Description

Registers a new activity type along with its configuration settings in the specified domain.

Warning

A TypeAlreadyExists fault is returned if the type already exists in the domain. You cannot change any configuration settings of the type after its registration, and it must be registered as a new version.

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.

• Constrain the following parameters by using a Condition element with the appropriate keys.

  • defaultTaskList.name : String constraint. The key is swf:defaultTaskList.name .

  • name : String constraint. The key is swf:name .

  • version : String constraint. The key is swf:version .

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 .

Options

--domain (string)

The name of the domain in which this activity is to be registered.

--name (string)

The name of the activity type within the domain.

The specified string must not start or end with whitespace. It must not contain a : (colon), / (slash), | (vertical bar), or any control characters (\u0000-\u001f | \u007f-\u009f ). Also, it must not be the literal string arn .

--description (string)

A textual description of the activity type.

--default-task-start-to-close-timeout (string)

If set, specifies the default maximum duration that a worker can take to process tasks of this activity type. This default can be overridden when scheduling an activity task using the ScheduleActivityTask Decision .

The duration is specified in seconds, an integer greater than or equal to 0 . You can use NONE to specify unlimited duration.

--default-task-heartbeat-timeout (string)

If set, specifies the default maximum time before which a worker processing a task of this type must report progress by calling RecordActivityTaskHeartbeat . If the timeout is exceeded, the activity task is automatically timed out. This default can be overridden when scheduling an activity task using the ScheduleActivityTask Decision . If the activity worker subsequently attempts to record a heartbeat or returns a result, the activity worker receives an UnknownResource fault. In this case, Amazon SWF no longer considers the activity task to be valid; the activity worker should clean up the activity task.

The duration is specified in seconds, an integer greater than or equal to 0 . You can use NONE to specify unlimited duration.

--default-task-list (structure)

If set, specifies the default task list to use for scheduling tasks of this activity type. This default task list is used if a task list isn’t provided when a task is scheduled through the ScheduleActivityTask Decision .

name -> (string)

The name of the task list.

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "name": "string"
}

--default-task-priority (string)

The default task priority to assign to the activity type. If not assigned, then 0 is used. Valid values are integers that range from Java’s Integer.MIN_VALUE (-2147483648) to Integer.MAX_VALUE (2147483647). Higher numbers indicate higher priority.

For more information about setting task priority, see Setting Task Priority in the in the *Amazon SWF Developer Guide .* .

--default-task-schedule-to-start-timeout (string)

If set, specifies the default maximum duration that a task of this activity type can wait before being assigned to a worker. This default can be overridden when scheduling an activity task using the ScheduleActivityTask Decision .

The duration is specified in seconds, an integer greater than or equal to 0 . You can use NONE to specify unlimited duration.

--default-task-schedule-to-close-timeout (string)

If set, specifies the default maximum duration for a task of this activity type. This default can be overridden when scheduling an activity task using the ScheduleActivityTask Decision .

The duration is specified in seconds, an integer greater than or equal to 0 . You can use NONE to specify unlimited duration.

--activity-version (string)

The version of the activity type.

Note

The activity type consists of the name and version, the combination of which must be unique within the domain.

The specified string must not start or end with whitespace. It must not contain a : (colon), / (slash), | (vertical bar), or any control characters (\u0000-\u001f | \u007f-\u009f ). Also, it must not be the literal string arn .

--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.
