Description

This operation initiates a job of the specified type, which can be a select, an archival retrieval, or a vault retrieval. For more information about using this operation, see the documentation for the underlying REST API Initiate a Job.

Parameters

-AccountId <String>
The AccountId value is the AWS account ID of the account that owns the vault. You can either specify an AWS account ID or optionally a single '-' (hyphen), in which case Amazon S3 Glacier uses the AWS account ID associated with the credentials used to sign the request. If you use an account ID, do not include any hyphens ('-') in the ID.If a value for this parameter is not specified the cmdlet will use a default value of '-'.
Required?False

AliasesJobParameters_Description
-JobType <String>
The job type. You can initiate a job to perform a select query on an archive, retrieve an archive, or get an inventory of a vault. Valid values are "select", "archive-retrieval" and "inventory-retrieval".
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesJobParameters_Type
-OutputFormat <String>
When initiating a job to retrieve a vault inventory, you can optionally add this parameter to your request to specify the output format. If you are initiating an inventory job and do not specify a Format field, JSON is the default format. Valid values are "CSV" and "JSON".

AliasesJobParameters_OutputLocation
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the VaultName parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^VaultName' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-RetrievalByteRange <String>
The byte range to retrieve for an archive retrieval. in the form "StartByteValue-EndByteValue" If not specified, the whole archive is retrieved. If specified, the byte range must be megabyte (1024*1024) aligned which means that StartByteValue must be divisible by 1 MB and EndByteValue plus 1 must be divisible by 1 MB or be the end of the archive specified as the archive byte size value minus 1. If RetrievalByteRange is not megabyte aligned, this operation returns a 400 response. An error occurs if you specify this field for an inventory retrieval job request.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesJobParameters_RetrievalByteRange
-Select <String>

Examples

Example 1

Start-GLCJob -VaultName myvault -JobType "archive-retrieval" -JobDescription "archive retrieval" -ArchiveId "o9O9j...TX-TpIhQJw"
