Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):datasync:[a-z\-0-9]*:[0-9]{12}:task/task-[0-9a-f]{17}/execution/exec-[0-9a-f]{17}$

Required: Yes

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

BytesCompressed

The physical number of bytes transferred over the network after compression was applied. In most cases, this number is less than BytesTransferred unless the data isn't compressible.

Type: Long

BytesTransferred

The total number of bytes that are involved in the transfer. For the number of bytes sent over the network, see BytesCompressed.

Type: Long

BytesWritten

The number of logical bytes written to the destination AWS storage resource.

Type: Long

EstimatedBytesToTransfer

The estimated physical number of bytes that is to be transferred over the network.

Type: Long

EstimatedFilesToTransfer

The expected number of files that is to be transferred over the network. This value is calculated during the PREPARING phase before the TRANSFERRING phase of the task execution. This value is the expected number of files to be transferred. It's calculated based on comparing the content of the source and destination locations and finding the delta that needs to be transferred.

Type: Long

Excludes

A list of filter rules that exclude specific data during your transfer. For more information and examples, see Filtering data transferred by DataSync.

Type: Array of FilterRule objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 1 item.

FilesTransferred

The actual number of files that was transferred over the network. This value is calculated and updated on an ongoing basis during the TRANSFERRING phase of the task execution. It's updated periodically when each file is read from the source and sent over the network.

If failures occur during a transfer, this value can be less than EstimatedFilesToTransfer. In some cases, this value can also be greater than EstimatedFilesToTransfer. This element is implementation-specific for some location types, so don't use it as an indicator for a correct file number or to monitor your task execution.

Type: Long

Includes

A list of filter rules that include specific data during your transfer. For more information and examples, see Filtering data transferred by DataSync.

Type: Array of FilterRule objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 1 item.

Options

Configures your AWS DataSync task settings. These options include how DataSync handles files, objects, and their associated metadata. You also can specify how DataSync verifies data integrity, set bandwidth limits for your task, among other options.

Each task setting has a default value. Unless you need to, you don't have to configure any of these Options before starting your task.

Type: Options object

Result

The result of the task execution.

Type: TaskExecutionResultDetail object

StartTime

The time that the task execution was started.

Type: Timestamp

Status

The status of the task execution.

For detailed information about task execution statuses, see Understanding Task Statuses.

Type: String

TaskExecutionArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task execution that was described. TaskExecutionArn is hierarchical and includes TaskArn for the task that was executed.

For example, a TaskExecution value with the ARN arn:aws:datasync:us-east-1:111222333444:task/task-0208075f79cedf4a2/execution/exec-08ef1e88ec491019b executed the task with the ARN arn:aws:datasync:us-east-1:111222333444:task/task-0208075f79cedf4a2.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):datasync:[a-z\-0-9]*:[0-9]{12}:task/task-[0-9a-f]{17}/execution/exec-[0-9a-f]{17}$

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InternalException

This exception is thrown when an error occurs in the AWS DataSync service.

HTTP Status Code: 500

InvalidRequestException

This exception is thrown when the client submits a malformed request.

HTTP Status Code: 400
