create-flow¶

Description¶

Enables your application to create a new flow using Amazon AppFlow. You must create a connector profile before calling this API. Please note that the Request Syntax below shows syntax for multiple destinations, however, you can only transfer data to one item in this list at a time. Amazon AppFlow does not currently support flows to multiple destinations at once.

includeDeletedRecords -> (boolean)

Indicates whether Amazon AppFlow includes deleted files in the flow run.

dataTransferApi -> (string)

Specifies which Salesforce API is used by Amazon AppFlow when your flow transfers data from Salesforce.

AUTOMATIC

The default. Amazon AppFlow selects which API to use based on the number of records that your flow transfers from Salesforce. If your flow transfers fewer than 1,000,000 records, Amazon AppFlow uses Salesforce REST API. If your flow transfers 1,000,000 records or more, Amazon AppFlow uses Salesforce Bulk API 2.0.

Each of these Salesforce APIs structures data differently. If Amazon AppFlow selects the API automatically, be aware that, for recurring flows, the data output might vary from one flow run to the next. For example, if a flow runs daily, it might use REST API on one day to transfer 900,000 records, and it might use Bulk API 2.0 on the next day to transfer 1,100,000 records. For each of these flow runs, the respective Salesforce API formats the data differently. Some of the differences include how dates are formatted and null values are represented. Also, Bulk API 2.0 doesn’t transfer Salesforce compound fields.

By choosing this option, you optimize flow performance for both small and large data transfers, but the tradeoff is inconsistent formatting in the output.

BULKV2

Amazon AppFlow uses only Salesforce Bulk API 2.0. This API runs asynchronous data transfers, and it’s optimal for large sets of data. By choosing this option, you ensure that your flow writes consistent output, but you optimize performance only for large data transfers.

Note that Bulk API 2.0 does not transfer Salesforce compound fields.

REST_SYNC

Amazon AppFlow uses only Salesforce REST API. By choosing this option, you ensure that your flow writes consistent output, but you decrease performance for large data transfers that are better suited for Bulk API 2.0. In some cases, if your flow attempts to transfer a vary large set of data, it might fail wituh a timed out error.

ServiceNow -> (structure)

--metadata-catalog-config (structure)

Specifies the configuration that Amazon AppFlow uses when it catalogs the data that’s transferred by the associated flow. When Amazon AppFlow catalogs the data from a flow, it stores metadata in a data catalog.

glueDataCatalog -> (structure)

Specifies the configuration that Amazon AppFlow uses when it catalogs your data with the Glue Data Catalog.

roleArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role that grants Amazon AppFlow the permissions it needs to create Data Catalog tables, databases, and partitions.

For an example IAM policy that has the required permissions, see Identity-based policy examples for Amazon AppFlow .

databaseName -> (string)

The name of the Data Catalog database that stores the metadata tables that Amazon AppFlow creates in your Amazon Web Services account. These tables contain metadata for the data that’s transferred by the flow that you configure with this parameter.

Note

When you configure a new flow with this parameter, you must specify an existing database.

tablePrefix -> (string)

A naming prefix for each Data Catalog table that Amazon AppFlow creates for the flow that you configure with this setting. Amazon AppFlow adds the prefix to the beginning of the each table name.

Shorthand Syntax:

glueDataCatalog={roleArn=string,databaseName=string,tablePrefix=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "glueDataCatalog": {
    "roleArn": "string",
    "databaseName": "string",
    "tablePrefix": "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¶

flowArn -> (string)

The flow’s Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

flowStatus -> (string)

Indicates the current status of the flow.
