New API Documentation - Developer Preview Available

We are excited to announce the developer preview of our new API documentation for AWS SDK for JavaScript v3. Please follow instructions on the landing page to leave us your feedback.

Class TerminateWorkflowExecutionCommandProtected

Records a WorkflowExecutionTerminated event and forces closure of the workflow execution identified by the given domain, runId, and workflowId. The child policy, registered with the workflow type or specified when starting this execution, is applied to any open child workflow executions of this workflow execution.

If the identified workflow execution was in progress, it is terminated immediately.

If a runId isn't specified, then the WorkflowExecutionTerminated event is recorded in the history of the current open workflow with the matching workflowId in the domain.

You should consider using RequestCancelWorkflowExecution action instead because it allows the workflow to gracefully close while TerminateWorkflowExecution doesn't.

Access Control

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

  • Use a Resource element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.

  • 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.

Example

Use a bare-bones client and the command you need to make an API call.

import { SWFClient, TerminateWorkflowExecutionCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-swf"; // ES Modules import
// const { SWFClient, TerminateWorkflowExecutionCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-swf"); // CommonJS import
const client = new SWFClient(config);
const input = { // TerminateWorkflowExecutionInput
domain: "STRING_VALUE", // required
workflowId: "STRING_VALUE", // required
runId: "STRING_VALUE",
reason: "STRING_VALUE",
details: "STRING_VALUE",
childPolicy: "TERMINATE" || "REQUEST_CANCEL" || "ABANDON",
};
const command = new TerminateWorkflowExecutionCommand(input);
const response = await client.send(command);
// {};
