SDK for PHP 3.x

Client: Aws\Sfn\SfnClient
Service ID: states
Version: 2016-11-23

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS Step Functions (2016-11-23), and shows how to use the Aws\Sfn\SfnClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2016-11-23 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

Paginators

Paginators handle automatically iterating over paginated API results. Paginators are associated with specific API operations, and they accept the parameters that the corresponding API operation accepts. You can get a paginator from a client class using getPaginator($paginatorName, $operationParameters). This client supports the following paginators:

GetExecutionHistory
ListActivities
ListExecutions
ListMapRuns
ListStateMachines

Operations

CreateActivity

$result = $client->createActivity([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createActivityAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates an activity. An activity is a task that you write in any programming language and host on any machine that has access to Step Functions. Activities must poll Step Functions using the GetActivityTask API action and respond using SendTask* API actions. This function lets Step Functions know the existence of your activity and returns an identifier for use in a state machine and when polling from the activity.

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

CreateActivity is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateActivity's idempotency check is based on the activity name. If a following request has different tags values, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case, tags will not be updated, even if they are different.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createActivity([
    'name' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'tags' => [
        [
            'key' => '<string>',
            'value' => '<string>',
        ],
        // ...
    ],
]);

Parameter Details

Members
name
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the activity to create. This name must be unique for your Amazon Web Services account and region for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the Step Functions Developer Guide.

A name must not contain:

  • white space

  • brackets < > { } [ ]

  • wildcard characters ? *

  • special characters " # % \ ^ | ~ ` $ & , ; : /

  • control characters (U+0000-001F, U+007F-009F)

To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.

tags
Type: Array of Tag structures

The list of tags to add to a resource.

An array of key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide, and Controlling Access Using IAM Tags.

Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols: _ . : / = + - @.

Result Syntax

[
    'activityArn' => '<string>',
    'creationDate' => <DateTime>,
]

Result Details

Members
activityArn
Required: Yes
Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the created activity.

creationDate
Required: Yes
Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The date the activity is created.

Errors

ActivityLimitExceeded:

The maximum number of activities has been reached. Existing activities must be deleted before a new activity can be created.

InvalidName:

The provided name is not valid.

TooManyTags:

You've exceeded the number of tags allowed for a resource. See the Limits Topic in the Step Functions Developer Guide.

CreateStateMachine

$result = $client->createStateMachine([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createStateMachineAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a state machine. A state machine consists of a collection of states that can do work (Task states), determine to which states to transition next (Choice states), stop an execution with an error (Fail states), and so on. State machines are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information, see Amazon States Language in the Step Functions User Guide.

If you set the publish parameter of this API action to true, it publishes version 1 as the first revision of the state machine.

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

CreateStateMachine is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateStateMachine's idempotency check is based on the state machine name, definition, type, LoggingConfiguration, and TracingConfiguration. The check is also based on the publish and versionDescription parameters. If a following request has a different roleArn or tags, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case, roleArn and tags will not be updated, even if they are different.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createStateMachine([
    'definition' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'loggingConfiguration' => [
        'destinations' => [

HTTP Status Code: 409

CreateStateMachineAlias

$result = $client->createStateMachineAlias([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createStateMachineAliasAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates an alias for a state machine that points to one or two versions of the same state machine. You can set your application to call StartExecution with an alias and update the version the alias uses without changing the client's code.

You can also map an alias to split StartExecution requests between two versions of a state machine. To do this, add a second RoutingConfig object in the routingConfiguration parameter. You must also specify the percentage of execution run requests each version should receive in both RoutingConfig objects. Step Functions randomly chooses which version runs a given execution based on the percentage you specify.

To create an alias that points to a single version, specify a single RoutingConfig object with a weight set to 100.

You can create up to 100 aliases for each state machine. You must delete unused aliases using the DeleteStateMachineAlias API action.

CreateStateMachineAlias is an idempotent API. Step Functions bases the idempotency check on the stateMachineArn, description, name, and routingConfiguration parameters. Requests that contain the same values for these parameters return a successful idempotent response without creating a duplicate resource.

DeleteStateMachine

$result = $client->deleteStateMachine([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->deleteStateMachineAsync([/* ... */]);

Deletes a state machine. This is an asynchronous operation. It sets the state machine's status to DELETING and begins the deletion process. A state machine is deleted only when all its executions are completed. On the next state transition, the state machine's executions are terminated.

A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.

The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine.

    arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel

    If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails with ValidationException.

  • The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine.

    arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine

This API action also deletes all versions and aliases associated with a state machine.

For EXPRESS state machines, the deletion happens eventually (usually in less than a minute). Running executions may emit logs after DeleteStateMachine API is called.

DeleteStateMachineVersion

$result = $client->deleteStateMachineVersion([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->deleteStateMachineVersionAsync([/* ... */]);

Deletes a state machine version. After you delete a version, you can't call StartExecution using that version's ARN or use the version with a state machine alias.

Deleting a state machine version won't terminate its in-progress executions.

You can't delete a state machine version currently referenced by one or more aliases. Before you delete a version, you must either delete the aliases or update them to point to another state machine version.

DescribeExecution

$result = $client->describeExecution([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeExecutionAsync([/* ... */]);

Provides information about a state machine execution, such as the state machine associated with the execution, the execution input and output, and relevant execution metadata. If you've redriven an execution, you can use this API action to return information about the redrives of that execution. In addition, you can use this API action to return the Map Run Amazon Resource Name (ARN) if the execution was dispatched by a Map Run.

If you specify a version or alias ARN when you call the StartExecution API action, DescribeExecution returns that ARN.

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

Provides details about execution input or output.

redriveCount
Type: int

The number of times you've redriven an execution. If you have not yet redriven an execution, the redriveCount is 0. This count is only updated if you successfully redrive an execution.

redriveDate
Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The date the execution was last redriven. If you have not yet redriven an execution, the redriveDate is null.

The redriveDate is unavailable if you redrive a Map Run that starts child workflow executions of type EXPRESS.

redriveStatus
Type: string

Indicates whether or not an execution can be redriven at a given point in time.

  • For executions of type STANDARD, redriveStatus is NOT_REDRIVABLE if calling the RedriveExecution API action would return the ExecutionNotRedrivable error.

  • For a Distributed Map that includes child workflows of type STANDARD, redriveStatus indicates whether or not the Map Run can redrive child workflow executions.

  • For a Distributed Map that includes child workflows of type EXPRESS, redriveStatus indicates whether or not the Map Run can redrive child workflow executions.

When redriveStatus is NOT_REDRIVABLE, redriveStatusReason specifies the reason why an execution cannot be redriven.

  • For executions of type STANDARD, or for a Distributed Map that includes child workflows of type STANDARD, redriveStatusReason can include one of the following reasons:

    • State machine is in DELETING status.

    • Execution is RUNNING and cannot be redriven.

    • Execution is SUCCEEDED and cannot be redriven.

    • Execution was started before the launch of RedriveExecution.

    • Execution history event limit exceeded.

    • Execution has exceeded the max execution time.

    • Execution redrivable period exceeded.

  • For a Distributed Map that includes child workflows of type EXPRESS, redriveStatusReason is only returned if the child workflows are not redrivable. This happens when the child workflow executions have completed successfully.

DescribeStateMachine

$result = $client->describeStateMachine([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeStateMachineAsync([/* ... */]);

Provides information about a state machine's definition, its IAM role Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and configuration.

A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.

The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine.

    arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel

    If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails with ValidationException.

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named PROD.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>

    If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias.

  • The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>

This API action returns the details for a state machine version if the stateMachineArn you specify is a state machine version ARN.

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->describeStateMachine([
    'stateMachineArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members
stateMachineArn
Required: Yes
Type: string

GetActivityTask

$result = $client->getActivityTask([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->getActivityTaskAsync([/* ... */]);

Used by workers to retrieve a task (with the specified activity ARN) which has been scheduled for execution by a running state machine. This initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds as soon as a task becomes available (i.e. an execution of a task of this type is needed.) The maximum time the service holds on to the request before responding is 60 seconds. If no task is available within 60 seconds, the poll returns a taskToken with a null string.

This API action isn't logged in CloudTrail.

Workers should set their client side socket timeout to at least 65 seconds (5 seconds higher than the maximum time the service may hold the poll request).

Polling with GetActivityTask can cause latency in some implementations. See Avoid Latency When Polling for Activity Tasks in the Step Functions Developer Guide.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->getActivityTask([
    'activityArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'workerName' => '<string>',

This is only an upper limit. The actual number of results returned per call might be fewer than the specified maximum.

nextToken
Type: string

If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

PublishStateMachineVersion

$result = $client->publishStateMachineVersion([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->publishStateMachineVersionAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a version from the current revision of a state machine. Use versions to create immutable snapshots of your state machine. You can start executions from versions either directly or with an alias. To create an alias, use CreateStateMachineAlias.

You can publish up to 1000 versions for each state machine. You must manually delete unused versions using the DeleteStateMachineVersion API action.

PublishStateMachineVersion is an idempotent API. It doesn't create a duplicate state machine version if it already exists for the current revision. Step Functions bases PublishStateMachineVersion's idempotency check on the stateMachineArn, name, and revisionId parameters. Requests with the same parameters return a successful idempotent response. If you don't specify a revisionId, Step Functions checks for a previously published version of the state machine's current revision.

description
Type: string

An optional description of the state machine version.

revisionId

Only publish the state machine version if the current state machine's revision ID matches the specified ID.

Use this option to avoid publishing a version if the state machine changed since you last updated it. If the specified revision ID doesn't match the state machine's current revision ID, the API returns ConflictException.

To specify an initial revision ID for a state machine with no revision ID assigned, specify the string INITIAL for the revisionId parameter. For example, you can specify a revisionID of INITIAL when you create a state machine using the CreateStateMachine API action.

RedriveExecution

$result = $client->redriveExecution([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->redriveExecutionAsync([/* ... */]);

Restarts unsuccessful executions of Standard workflows that didn't complete successfully in the last 14 days. These include failed, aborted, or timed out executions. When you redrive an execution, it continues the failed execution from the unsuccessful step and uses the same input. Step Functions preserves the results and execution history of the successful steps, and doesn't rerun these steps when you redrive an execution. Redriven executions use the same state machine definition and execution ARN as the original execution attempt.

For workflows that include an Inline Map or Parallel state, RedriveExecution API action reschedules and redrives only the iterations and branches that failed or aborted.

To redrive a workflow that includes a Distributed Map state whose Map Run failed, you must redrive the parent workflow. The parent workflow redrives all the unsuccessful states, including a failed Map Run. If a Map Run was not started in the original execution attempt, the redriven parent workflow starts the Map Run.

This API action is not supported by EXPRESS state machines.

However, you can restart the unsuccessful executions of Express child workflows in a Distributed Map by redriving its Map Run. When you redrive a Map Run, the Express child workflows are rerun using the StartExecution API action. For more information, see Redriving Map Runs.

You can redrive executions if your original execution meets the following conditions:

  • The execution status isn't SUCCEEDED.

  • Your workflow execution has not exceeded the redrivable period of 14 days. Redrivable period refers to the time during which you can redrive a given execution. This period starts from the day a state machine completes its execution.

  • The workflow execution has not exceeded the maximum open time of one year. For more information about state machine quotas, see Quotas related to state machine executions.

  • The execution event history count is less than 24,999. Redriven executions append their event history to the existing event history. Make sure your workflow execution contains less than 24,999 events to accommodate the ExecutionRedriven history event and at least one other history event.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->redriveExecution([
    'clientToken' => '<string>',
    'executionArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members
clientToken
Type: string

A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. If you don’t specify a client token, the Amazon Web Services SDK automatically generates a client token and uses it for the request to ensure idempotency. The API will return idempotent responses for the last 10 client tokens used to successfully redrive the execution. These client tokens are valid for up to 15 minutes after they are first used.

executionArn
Required: Yes
Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution to be redriven.

Result Syntax

[
    'redriveDate' => <DateTime>,
]

Result Details

Members
redriveDate
Required: Yes
Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The date the execution was last redriven.

Errors

ExecutionDoesNotExist:

The specified execution does not exist.

ExecutionNotRedrivable:

The execution Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that you specified for executionArn cannot be redriven.

ExecutionLimitExceeded:

The maximum number of running executions has been reached. Running executions must end or be stopped before a new execution can be started.

InvalidArn:

The provided Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is not valid.

ValidationException:

The input does not satisfy the constraints specified by an Amazon Web Services service.

SendTaskFailure

$result = $client->sendTaskFailure([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->sendTaskFailureAsync([/* ... */]);

Used by activity workers, Task states using the callback pattern, and optionally Task states using the job run pattern to report that the task identified by the taskToken failed.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->sendTaskFailure([
    'cause' => '<string>',
    'error' => '<string>',
    'taskToken' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members
cause
Type: string

A more detailed explanation of the cause of the failure.

error
Type: string

The error code of the failure.

taskToken
Required: Yes
Type: string

The token that represents this task. Task tokens are generated by Step Functions when tasks are assigned to a worker, or in the context object when a workflow enters a task state. See GetActivityTaskOutput$taskToken.

Result Syntax

Result Details

The results for this operation are always empty.

Errors

TaskDoesNotExist:

The activity does not exist.

InvalidToken:

The provided token is not valid.

TaskTimedOut:

The task token has either expired or the task associated with the token has already been closed.

SendTaskHeartbeat

$result = $client->sendTaskHeartbeat([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->sendTaskHeartbeatAsync([/* ... */]);

Used by activity workers and Task states using the callback pattern, and optionally Task states using the job run pattern to report to Step Functions that the task represented by the specified taskToken is still making progress. This action resets the Heartbeat clock. The Heartbeat threshold is specified in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition (HeartbeatSeconds). This action does not in itself create an event in the execution history. However, if the task times out, the execution history contains an ActivityTimedOut entry for activities, or a TaskTimedOut entry for tasks using the job run or callback pattern.

The Timeout of a task, defined in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition, is its maximum allowed duration, regardless of the number of SendTaskHeartbeat requests received. Use HeartbeatSeconds to configure the timeout interval for heartbeats.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->sendTaskHeartbeat([
    'taskToken' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

StartExecution

$result = $client->startExecution([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startExecutionAsync([/* ... */]);

Starts a state machine execution.

A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.

The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine.

    arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel

    If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails with ValidationException.

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named PROD.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>

    If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias.

  • The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>

If you start an execution with an unqualified state machine ARN, Step Functions uses the latest revision of the state machine for the execution.

To start executions of a state machine version, call StartExecution and provide the version ARN or the ARN of an alias that points to the version.

StartExecution is idempotent for STANDARD workflows. For a STANDARD workflow, if you call StartExecution with the same name and input as a running execution, the call succeeds and return the same response as the original request. If the execution is closed or if the input is different, it returns a 400 ExecutionAlreadyExists error. You can reuse names after 90 days.

StartExecution isn't idempotent for EXPRESS workflows.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->startExecution([
    'input' => '<string>',
    'name' => '<string>',
    'stateMachineArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'traceHeader' => '<string>',
]);

Parameter Details

Members
input
Type: string

The string that contains the JSON input data for the execution, for example:

"input": "{\"first_name\" : \"test\"}"

If you don't include any JSON input data, you still must include the two braces, for example: "input": "{}"

Length constraints apply to the payload size, and are expressed as bytes in UTF-8 encoding.

name
Type: string

Optional name of the execution. This name must be unique for your Amazon Web Services account, Region, and state machine for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the Step Functions Developer Guide.

If you don't provide a name for the execution, Step Functions automatically generates a universally unique identifier (UUID) as the execution name.

A name must not contain:

  • white space

  • brackets < > { } [ ]

  • wildcard characters ? *

  • special characters " # % \ ^ | ~ ` $ & , ; : /

  • control characters (U+0000-001F, U+007F-009F)

To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.

stateMachineArn
Required: Yes
Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine to execute.

The stateMachineArn parameter accepts one of the following inputs:

  • An unqualified state machine ARN – Refers to a state machine ARN that isn't qualified with a version or alias ARN. The following is an example of an unqualified state machine ARN.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>

    Step Functions doesn't associate state machine executions that you start with an unqualified ARN with a version. This is true even if that version uses the same revision that the execution used.

  • A state machine version ARN – Refers to a version ARN, which is a combination of state machine ARN and the version number separated by a colon (:). The following is an example of the ARN for version 10.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>:10

    Step Functions doesn't associate executions that you start with a version ARN with any aliases that point to that version.

  • A state machine alias ARN – Refers to an alias ARN, which is a combination of state machine ARN and the alias name separated by a colon (:). The following is an example of the ARN for an alias named PROD.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>

    Step Functions associates executions that you start with an alias ARN with that alias and the state machine version used for that execution.

traceHeader

StartSyncExecution

$result = $client->startSyncExecution([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startSyncExecutionAsync([/* ... */]);

Starts a Synchronous Express state machine execution. StartSyncExecution is not available for STANDARD workflows.

StartSyncExecution will return a 200 OK response, even if your execution fails, because the status code in the API response doesn't reflect function errors. Error codes are reserved for errors that prevent your execution from running, such as permissions errors, limit errors, or issues with your state machine code and configuration.

This API action isn't logged in CloudTrail.

TestState

$result = $client->testState([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->testStateAsync([/* ... */]);

Accepts the definition of a single state and executes it. You can test a state without creating a state machine or updating an existing state machine. Using this API, you can test the following:

You can call this API on only one state at a time. The states that you can test include the following:

The TestState API assumes an IAM role which must contain the required IAM permissions for the resources your state is accessing. For information about the permissions a state might need, see IAM permissions to test a state.

The TestState API can run for up to five minutes. If the execution of a state exceeds this duration, it fails with the States.Timeout error.

TestState doesn't support Activity tasks, .sync or .waitForTaskToken service integration patterns, Parallel, or Map states.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->testState([
    'definition' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'input' => '<string>',

Parameter Details

Members
definition
Required: Yes
Type: string

The Amazon States Language (ASL) definition of the state.

input
Type: string

A string that contains the JSON input data for the state.

inspectionLevel
Type: string

Determines the values to return when a state is tested. You can specify one of the following types:

  • INFO: Shows the final state output. By default, Step Functions sets inspectionLevel to INFO if you don't specify a level.

  • DEBUG: Shows the final state output along with the input and output data processing result.

  • TRACE: Shows the HTTP request and response for an HTTP Task. This level also shows the final state output along with the input and output data processing result.

Each of these levels also provide information about the status of the state execution and the next state to transition to.

revealSecrets
Type: boolean

Specifies whether or not to include secret information in the test result. For HTTP Tasks, a secret includes the data that an EventBridge connection adds to modify the HTTP request headers, query parameters, and body. Step Functions doesn't omit any information included in the state definition or the HTTP response.

If you set revealSecrets to true, you must make sure that the IAM user that calls the TestState API has permission for the states:RevealSecrets action. For an example of IAM policy that sets the states:RevealSecrets permission, see IAM permissions to test a state. Without this permission, Step Functions throws an access denied error.

By default, revealSecrets is set to false.

UpdateStateMachine

$result = $client->updateStateMachine([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateStateMachineAsync([/* ... */]);

Updates an existing state machine by modifying its definition, roleArn, or loggingConfiguration. Running executions will continue to use the previous definition and roleArn. You must include at least one of definition or roleArn or you will receive a MissingRequiredParameter error.

A qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine. For example, the qualified state machine ARN arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:stateMachineName/mapStateLabel refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in the state machine named stateMachineName.

A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.

The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine.

    arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel

    If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails with ValidationException.

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named PROD.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>

    If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias.

  • The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine.

    arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>

After you update your state machine, you can set the publish parameter to true in the same action to publish a new version. This way, you can opt-in to strict versioning of your state machine.

Step Functions assigns monotonically increasing integers for state machine versions, starting at version number 1.

All StartExecution calls within a few seconds use the updated definition and roleArn. Executions started immediately after you call UpdateStateMachine may use the previous state machine definition and roleArn.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->updateStateMachine([
    'definition' => '<string>',

StateMachineDeleting:

The specified state machine is being deleted.

StateMachineDoesNotExist:

The specified state machine does not exist.

ServiceQuotaExceededException:

The request would cause a service quota to be exceeded.

HTTP Status Code: 402

ConflictException:

Updating or deleting a resource can cause an inconsistent state. This error occurs when there're concurrent requests for DeleteStateMachineVersion, PublishStateMachineVersion, or UpdateStateMachine with the publish parameter set to true.

HTTP Status Code: 409

ValidationException:

The input does not satisfy the constraints specified by an Amazon Web Services service.

UpdateStateMachineAlias

$result = $client->updateStateMachineAlias([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateStateMachineAliasAsync([/* ... */]);

Updates the configuration of an existing state machine alias by modifying its description or routingConfiguration.

You must specify at least one of the description or routingConfiguration parameters to update a state machine alias.

UpdateStateMachineAlias is an idempotent API. Step Functions bases the idempotency check on the stateMachineAliasArn, description, and routingConfiguration parameters. Requests with the same parameters return an idempotent response.

This operation is eventually consistent. All StartExecution requests made within a few seconds use the latest alias configuration. Executions started immediately after calling UpdateStateMachineAlias may use the previous routing configuration.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->updateStateMachineAlias([
    'description' => '<string>',
    'routingConfiguration' => [
        [
            'stateMachineVersionArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

ValidateStateMachineDefinition

$result = $client->validateStateMachineDefinition([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->validateStateMachineDefinitionAsync([/* ... */]);

Validates the syntax of a state machine definition.

You can validate that a state machine definition is correct without creating a state machine resource. Step Functions will implicitly perform the same syntax check when you invoke CreateStateMachine and UpdateStateMachine. State machine definitions are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information on Amazon States Language see Amazon States Language (ASL).

Suggested uses for ValidateStateMachineDefinition:

  • Integrate automated checks into your code review or Continuous Integration (CI) process to validate state machine definitions before starting deployments.

  • Run the validation from a Git pre-commit hook to check your state machine definitions before committing them to your source repository.

Errors found in the state machine definition will be returned in the response as a list of diagnostic elements, rather than raise an exception.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->validateStateMachineDefinition([
    'definition' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'type' => 'STANDARD|EXPRESS',
]);

Parameter Details

Members
definition
Required: Yes
