AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . forecast ]

create-dataset

Description

Creates an Amazon Forecast dataset. The information about the dataset that you provide helps Forecast understand how to consume the data for model training. This includes the following:

  • *DataFrequency * - How frequently your historical time-series data is collected.

  • *Domain * and * DatasetType * - Each dataset has an associated dataset domain and a type within the domain. Amazon Forecast provides a list of predefined domains and types within each domain. For each unique dataset domain and type within the domain, Amazon Forecast requires your data to include a minimum set of predefined fields.

  • *Schema * - A schema specifies the fields in the dataset, including the field name and data type.

After creating a dataset, you import your training data into it and add the dataset to a dataset group. You use the dataset group to create a predictor. For more information, see Importing datasets .

To get a list of all your datasets, use the ListDatasets operation.

For example Forecast datasets, see the Amazon Forecast Sample GitHub repository .

Note

The Status of a dataset must be ACTIVE before you can import training data. Use the DescribeDataset operation to get the status.

Options

--dataset-name (string)

A name for the dataset.

--domain (string)

The domain associated with the dataset. When you add a dataset to a dataset group, this value and the value specified for the Domain parameter of the CreateDatasetGroup operation must match.

The Domain and DatasetType that you choose determine the fields that must be present in the training data that you import to the dataset. For example, if you choose the RETAIL domain and TARGET_TIME_SERIES as the DatasetType , Amazon Forecast requires item_id , timestamp , and demand fields to be present in your data. For more information, see Importing datasets .

Possible values:

  • RETAIL

  • CUSTOM

  • INVENTORY_PLANNING

  • EC2_CAPACITY

  • WORK_FORCE

  • WEB_TRAFFIC

  • METRICS

--dataset-type (string)

The dataset type. Valid values depend on the chosen Domain .

Possible values:

  • TARGET_TIME_SERIES

  • RELATED_TIME_SERIES

  • ITEM_METADATA

--data-frequency (string)

The frequency of data collection. This parameter is required for RELATED_TIME_SERIES datasets.

Valid intervals are Y (Year), M (Month), W (Week), D (Day), H (Hour), 30min (30 minutes), 15min (15 minutes), 10min (10 minutes), 5min (5 minutes), and 1min (1 minute). For example, “D” indicates every day and “15min” indicates every 15 minutes.

--schema (structure)

The schema for the dataset. The schema attributes and their order must match the fields in your data. The dataset Domain and DatasetType that you choose determine the minimum required fields in your training data. For information about the required fields for a specific dataset domain and type, see Dataset Domains and Dataset Types .

Attributes -> (list)

An array of attributes specifying the name and type of each field in a dataset.

(structure)

An attribute of a schema, which defines a dataset field. A schema attribute is required for every field in a dataset. The Schema object contains an array of SchemaAttribute objects.

AttributeName -> (string)

The name of the dataset field.

AttributeType -> (string)

The data type of the field.

For a related time series dataset, other than date, item_id, and forecast dimensions attributes, all attributes should be of numerical type (integer/float).

Shorthand Syntax:

Attributes=[{AttributeName=string,AttributeType=string},{AttributeName=string,AttributeType=string}]

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Attributes": [
    {
      "AttributeName": "string",
      "AttributeType": "string"|"integer"|"float"|"timestamp"|"geolocation"
    }
    ...
  ]
}

--encryption-config (structure)

An AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key and the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the key.

RoleArn -> (string)

The ARN of the IAM role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the AWS KMS key.

Passing a role across AWS accounts is not allowed. If you pass a role that isn’t in your account, you get an InvalidInputException error.

KMSKeyArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the KMS key.

Shorthand Syntax:

RoleArn=string,KMSKeyArn=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "RoleArn": "string",
  "KMSKeyArn": "string"
}

--tags (list)

The optional metadata that you apply to the dataset to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

  • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50.

  • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

  • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.

  • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.

  • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

  • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.

  • Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for keys as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, then Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit.

Key -> (string)

One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

Value -> (string)

The optional part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json

  • text

  • table

  • yaml

  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on

  • off

  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64

  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

DatasetArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the dataset.
