start-transaction¶
Description¶
Starts a new transaction and returns its transaction ID. Transaction IDs are opaque objects that you can use to identify a transaction.
See also: AWS API Documentation
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
Synopsis¶
start-transaction
[--transaction-type <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
Options¶
--transaction-type (string)
Indicates whether this transaction should be read only or read and write. Writes made using a read-only transaction ID will be rejected. Read-only transactions do not need to be committed.
Possible values:
READ_AND_WRITE
READ_ONLY
--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
