Synopsis

Calls the AWS Support DescribeCases API operation.

-AfterTime <String>
-BeforeTime <String>
-DisplayId <String>
-DryRun <Boolean>
-IncludeCommunication <Boolean>
-IncludeResolvedCase <Boolean>

Description

Returns a list of cases that you specify by passing one or more case IDs. You can use the afterTime and beforeTime parameters to filter the cases by date. You can set values for the includeResolvedCases and includeCommunications parameters to specify how much information to return. The response returns the following in JSON format:
  • One or more CaseDetails data types.
  • One or more nextToken values, which specify where to paginate the returned records represented by the CaseDetails objects.
Case data is available for 24 months after creation. If a case was created more than 24 months ago, a request might return an error.
  • You must have an Amazon Web Services Business Support+, Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support, or Amazon Web Services Unified Operations plan to use the Amazon Web Services Support API. If you're in an Amazon Web Services Region that doesn't offer one of these Amazon Web Services Support plans, or if you haven't transitioned to one of these plans, you can use the Amazon Web Services Support API with a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan.
  • If you call the Amazon Web Services Support API from an account that doesn't have an Amazon Web Services Business Support+, Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support, or Amazon Web Services Unified Operations plan, the SubscriptionRequiredException error message appears. For information about changing your support plan, see Amazon Web Services Support.
Each Communication returned by this operation includes attachment information in two fields:
  • attachmentSet: returns only attachments that are 5 MB or smaller. Attachments larger than 5 MB are not included in this field.
  • attachments: returns all attachments regardless of size.
Amazon Web Services recommends that you use the attachments field and download each attachment with GetAttachmentDownloadLink, which supports attachments of any size. The attachmentSet field and DescribeAttachment return only attachments that are 5 MB or smaller.

This cmdlet automatically pages all available results to the pipeline - parameters related to iteration are only needed if you want to manually control the paginated output. To disable autopagination, use -NoAutoIteration.

Note: For scripts written against earlier versions of this module this cmdlet can also be invoked with the alias, Get-ASACases.

Parameters

-AfterTime <String>
The start date for a filtered date search on support case communications. Case communications are available for 24 months after creation.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-BeforeTime <String>
The end date for a filtered date search on support case communications. Case communications are available for 24 months after creation.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-CaseIdList <String[]>
A list of ID numbers of the support cases you want returned. The maximum number of cases is 100. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ClientConfig <AmazonAWSSupportConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.ASA.AmazonAWSSupportClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-DisplayId <String>
The ID displayed for a case in the Amazon Web Services Support Center user interface.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-DryRun <Boolean>
Specifies whether to validate the request without actually returning case data. When set to true, the request is validated but no cases are returned, and the operation returns a DryRunOperationException. When omitted or set to false, the request runs normally.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-IncludeCommunication <Boolean>
Specifies whether to include communications in the DescribeCases response. By default, communications are included.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesIncludeCommunications
-IncludeResolvedCase <Boolean>
Specifies whether to include resolved support cases in the DescribeCases response. By default, resolved cases aren't included.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesIncludeResolvedCases
-Language <String>
The language in which Amazon Web Services Support handles the case. Amazon Web Services Support currently supports Chinese (“zh”), English ("en"), Japanese ("ja") , Chinese ("zh"), Spanish ("es"), Portuguese ("pt"), French ("fr"), Korean (“ko”), and Turkish ("tr"). You must specify the ISO 639-1 code for the language parameter if you want support in that language.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MaxResult <Int32>
The maximum number of results to return before paginating.
Note: In AWSPowerShell and AWSPowerShell.NetCore this parameter is used to limit the total number of items returned by the cmdlet.
In AWS.Tools this parameter is simply passed to the service to specify how many items should be returned by each service call.
Pipe the output of this cmdlet into Select-Object -First to terminate retrieving data pages early and control the number of items returned.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesMaxItems, MaxResults
-NextToken <String>
A resumption point for pagination.
Note: This parameter is only used if you are manually controlling output pagination of the service API call.
'NextToken' is only returned by the cmdlet when '-Select *' is specified. In order to manually control output pagination, set '-NextToken' to null for the first call then set the 'NextToken' using the same property output from the previous call for subsequent calls.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
By default the cmdlet will auto-iterate and retrieve all results to the pipeline by performing multiple service calls. If set, the cmdlet will retrieve only the next 'page' of results using the value of NextToken as the start point.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Cases'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.AWSSupport.Model.DescribeCasesResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.AWSSupport.Model.DescribeCasesResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False

Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage.

Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
