ContinueAsNewWorkflowExecutionDecisionAttributes

Description

Provides details of the ContinueAsNewWorkflowExecution decision.

Access Control

You can use IAM policies to control this decision's access to Amazon SWF in much the same way as for the regular API:

  • Use a Resource element with the domain name to limit the decision to only specified domains.
  • Use an Action element to allow or deny permission to specify this decision.
  • Constrain the following parameters by using a Condition element with the appropriate keys.
    • tag: TBD.
    • taskList: String constraint. The key is "swf:taskList.name".
    • workflowTypeVersion: String constraint. The key is TBD.

If the caller does not 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 will be set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.

Contents

childPolicy

If set, specifies the policy to use for the child workflow executions of the new execution if it is terminated by calling the TerminateWorkflowExecution action explicitly or due to an expired timeout. This policy overrides the default child policy specified when registering the workflow type using RegisterWorkflowType. The supported child policies are:

  • TERMINATE: the child executions will be terminated.
  • REQUEST_CANCEL: a request to cancel will be attempted for each child execution by recording a WorkflowExecutionCancelRequested event in its history. It is up to the decider to take appropriate actions when it receives an execution history with this event.
  • ABANDON: no action will be taken. The child executions will continue to run.

Note

A child policy for the new workflow execution must be specified either as a default registered for its workflow type or through this field. If neither this field is set nor a default child policy was specified at registration time then a fault will be returned.

Type: String

Valid Values: TERMINATE | REQUEST_CANCEL | ABANDON

Required: No

executionStartToCloseTimeout

If set, specifies the total duration for this workflow execution. This overrides the defaultExecutionStartToCloseTimeout specified when registering the workflow type.

The valid values are integers greater than or equal to 0. An integer value can be used to specify the duration in seconds while NONE can be used to specify unlimited duration.

Note

An execution start-to-close timeout for this workflow execution must be specified either as a default for the workflow type or through this field. If neither this field is set nor a default execution start-to-close timeout was specified at registration time then a fault will be returned.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 8.

Required: No

input

The input provided to the new workflow execution.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 32768.

Required: No

tagList

The list of tags to associate with the new workflow execution. A maximum of 5 tags can be specified. You can list workflow executions with a specific tag by calling ListOpenWorkflowExecutions or ListClosedWorkflowExecutions and specifying a TagFilter.

Type: array of Strings

Length constraints: Minimum of 0 item(s) in the list. Maximum of 5 item(s) in the list.

Required: No

taskList

Represents a task list.

Type: TaskList object

Required: No

taskStartToCloseTimeout

Specifies the maximum duration of decision tasks for the new workflow execution. This parameter overrides the defaultTaskStartToCloseTimout specified when registering the workflow type using RegisterWorkflowType.

The valid values are integers greater than or equal to 0. An integer value can be used to specify the duration in seconds while NONE can be used to specify unlimited duration.

Note

A task start-to-close timeout for the new workflow execution must be specified either as a default for the workflow type or through this parameter. If neither this parameter is set nor a default task start-to-close timeout was specified at registration time then a fault will be returned.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 8.

Required: No

workflowTypeVersion

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Required: No
