Sending a CreateJob Request Using the AWS Import/Export Web Service Tool
The easiest way to send a CreateJob request is by using the AWS
Import/Export Tool.
To send a CreateJob request using the AWS Import/Export Web Service Tool
Download the AWS Import/Export Web Service Tool
Click http://awsimportexport.s3.amazonaws.com/importexport-webservice-tool.zip.
Extract the zipped content to a directory on your computer.
Open a command prompt (or, on a Mac, use the Terminal application), and change to the directory where you unzipped the AWS Import/Export tool.
Enter the
CreateJobrequest on the command line, specifying either Import or Export and the manifest file name.For an Import job, enter the following
CreateJobrequest on the command line.CmdPrompt>java -jar lib/AWSImportExportWebServiceTool-1.0.jar CreateJob Import MyImportManifest.txt .
For an Export job, enter the following
CreateJobrequest on the command line.CmdPrompt>java -jar lib/AWSImportExportWebServiceTool-1.0.jar CreateJob Export MyExportManifest.txt .
The
CreateJobrequest includes a directory name for where you want theSIGNATUREfile saved. In this example, the closing period (.) at the end of the command refers to the current directory. Either include the period, as shown above, or replace it with a directory name.
If there is an error, AWS Import/Export returns an error message.
If there are no errors in the request, AWS Import/Export returns a JOB CREATED response.
For an Amazon S3 import or export job, the response includes a job ID, a signature value, and an AWS shipping address. The response also saves a SIGNATURE file to your computer.
For an AWS EBS or Amazon Glacier import job, the response includes a job ID and shipping instructions. It also places a PDF file on your computer and in the Amazon S3 log bucket you identified in your manifest. The PDF file contains job information, shipping instructions, and a barcode.
