Options

--thing-name (string)

The name of the thing associated with the device.

--status-details (map)

A collection of name/value pairs that describe the status of the job execution. If not specified, the statusDetails are unchanged.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--step-timeout-in-minutes (long)

Specifies the amount of time this device has to finish execution of this job. If the job execution status is not set to a terminal state before this timer expires, or before the timer is reset (by calling UpdateJobExecution , setting the status to IN_PROGRESS and specifying a new timeout value in field stepTimeoutInMinutes ) the job execution status will be automatically set to TIMED_OUT . Note that setting this timeout has no effect on that job execution timeout which may have been specified when the job was created (CreateJob using field timeoutConfig ).

--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. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--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 .

To get and start the next pending job execution for a thing

The following start-next-pending-job-execution example retrieves and starts the next job execution whose status is IN_PROGRESS or QUEUED for the specified thing.

aws iot-jobs-data start-next-pending-job-execution \
    --thing-name MotionSensor1
    --endpoint-url https://1234567890abcd.jobs.iot.us-west-2.amazonaws.com

Output:

{
    "execution": {
        "approximateSecondsBeforeTimedOut": 88,
        "executionNumber": 2939653338,
        "jobId": "SampleJob",
        "lastUpdatedAt": 1567714853.743,
        "queuedAt": 1567701902.444,
        "startedAt": 1567714871.690,
        "status": "IN_PROGRESS",
        "thingName": "MotionSensor1 ",
        "versionNumber": 3
   }
}

Output

execution -> (structure)

A JobExecution object.

jobId -> (string)

The unique identifier you assigned to this job when it was created.

thingName -> (string)

The name of the thing that is executing the job.

status -> (string)

The status of the job execution. Can be one of: “QUEUED”, “IN_PROGRESS”, “FAILED”, “SUCCESS”, “CANCELED”, “REJECTED”, or “REMOVED”.

statusDetails -> (map)

A collection of name/value pairs that describe the status of the job execution.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

queuedAt -> (long)

The time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when the job execution was enqueued.

startedAt -> (long)

The time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when the job execution was started.

lastUpdatedAt -> (long)

The time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when the job execution was last updated.

approximateSecondsBeforeTimedOut -> (long)

The estimated number of seconds that remain before the job execution status will be changed to TIMED_OUT .

versionNumber -> (long)

The version of the job execution. Job execution versions are incremented each time they are updated by a device.

executionNumber -> (long)

A number that identifies a particular job execution on a particular device. It can be used later in commands that return or update job execution information.
