Managing Amazon AppFlow flows

After you create one or more flows, you can use the Flows page in the Amazon AppFlow console to manage them.

To go to the Flows page

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon AppFlow console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Flows. The console shows the Flows page. This page contains a table that summarizes the flows that you've created.

To view the details for flow

• Select a flow, and choose View details. The console shows the flow details page.

  The Flow details section shows details about the flow, its data source, and its destination. To view additional information, choose any of the following tabs:

  Data field settings

  Details about how data is mapped between the source and destination.

  Partition and aggregation settings

  Details about how the flow organizes output data into partitions and aggregates it into files.

  Filters

  Details about the filters that control which data the flow sends to the destination.

  Tags

  The tag keys and values that you've applied to the flow.

  Run history

  Details about each run that has occurred for the flow, such as the date, transfer size, and status.

To initiate a flow

To initiate a flow, you activate or run it. The action that you take depends on whether you configured the flow to run on a schedule, based on an event, or on demand.

• Select a flow, and choose View details. Then, do one of the following:

  • If the flow runs on a schedule or based on an event, choose Activate to activate the flow. To deactivate the flow, choose Deactivate flow.

  • If the flow runs on demand, choose Run flow whenever you want to transfer the data.

To update a flow

• Select a flow, and choose Edit. The console shows the flow creation process, and you can navigate the pages to revise settings such as field mappings, trigger type, and filters. You can't change the flow name, source, or destination. The changes apply only to flow runs that occur after you save your changes.

To copy a flow

• Select a flow, and choose Copy to new flow. The console shows the flow creation process, and it copies the initial settings from the flow that you copied. You can modify these settings before you create the new flow.

To cancel a flow

You can cancel any flow that's currently running.

• Select a flow, and choose View details. Then, do either of the following:

  • If the page shows a banner about your active flow run, choose Cancel this flow run in the banner. If multiple runs are active at the same time, you can cancel all of them.

  • Choose the Run history tab and do the following:

    1. Select the checkbox for the flow run that you want to cancel. You can select multiple runs.

    2. Choose Cancel selected flow run.

You cannot resume a run after you cancel it.

Note

When you cancel a run, you still incur charges for any data that the run already processed before the cancellation. If the run had already written some data to the flow destination, then that data remains in the destination. If you configured the flow to use a batch API (such as the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0), then the run will finish reading or writing its entire batch of data after the cancellation. For these operations, the data processing charges for Amazon AppFlow apply. For the pricing information, see Amazon AppFlow pricing.

To delete a flow

• Select a flow, and choose Delete. When the console prompts you to confirm the operation, type delete, and then choose Delete.
