DeleteActivityTypeCommand

Suggest an Edit

Deletes the specified activity type.

Note: Prior to deletion, activity types must first be deprecated.

After an activity type has been deleted, you cannot schedule new activities of that type. Activities that started before the type was deleted will continue to run.

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.

  • Constrain the following parameters by using a Condition element with the appropriate keys.

    • activityType.name: String constraint. The key is swf:activityType.name.

    • activityType.version: String constraint. The key is swf:activityType.version.

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.
