register-domain¶

Description¶

Registers a new domain.

Access Control

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

You cannot use an IAM policy to control domain access for this action. The name of the domain being registered is available as the resource of this action.
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 .

Options¶

--name (string)

Name of the domain to register. The name must be unique in the region that the domain is registered in.

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 text description of the domain.

--workflow-execution-retention-period-in-days (string)

The duration (in days) that records and histories of workflow executions on the domain should be kept by the service. After the retention period, the workflow execution isn’t available in the results of visibility calls.

If you pass the value NONE or 0 (zero), then the workflow execution history isn’t retained. As soon as the workflow execution completes, the execution record and its history are deleted.

The maximum workflow execution retention period is 90 days. For more information about Amazon SWF service limits, see: Amazon SWF Service Limits in the Amazon SWF Developer Guide .

--tags (list)

Tags to be added when registering a domain.

Tags may only contain unicode letters, digits, whitespace, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @ .

(structure)

Tags are key-value pairs that can be associated with Amazon SWF state machines and activities.

Tags may only contain unicode letters, digits, whitespace, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @ .

key -> (string)

The key of a tag.

value -> (string)

The value of a tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

key=string,value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "key": "string",
    "value": "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.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Registering a Domain

You can use the AWS CLI to register new domains. Use the swf register-domain command. There are two required parameters, --name, which takes the domain name, and --workflow-execution-retention-period-in-days, which takes an integer to specify the number of days to retain workflow execution data on this domain, up to a maxium period of 90 days (for more information, see the SWF FAQ <https://aws.amazon.com/swf/faqs/#retain_limit>). Workflow execution data will not be retained after the specified number of days have passed.

aws swf register-domain \
    --name MyNeatNewDomain \
    --workflow-execution-retention-period-in-days 0
    ""

When you register a domain, nothing is returned (“”), but you can use swf list-domains or swf describe-domain to see the new domain.

aws swf list-domains \
    --registration-status REGISTERED
        {
            "domainInfos": [
                {
                    "status": "REGISTERED",
                    "name": "DataFrobotz"
                },
                {
                    "status": "REGISTERED",
                    "name": "MyNeatNewDomain"
                },
                {
                    "status": "REGISTERED",
                    "name": "erontest"
                }
            ]
        }

Using swf describe-domain:

aws swf describe-domain --name MyNeatNewDomain
{
    "domainInfo": {
        "status": "REGISTERED",
        "name": "MyNeatNewDomain"
    },
    "configuration": {
        "workflowExecutionRetentionPeriodInDays": "0"
    }
}
