Use the SimSpace Weaver APIs to work with snapshots
You can call the SimSpace Weaver APIs directly to work with snapshots. For information about the APIs, see the AWS SimSpace Weaver API Reference.
Other ways to work with snapshots
Create a snapshot
You can call the CreateSnapshot API to create a snapshot for a
simulation. The simulation state must be STARTED.
SimSpace Weaver creates the snapshot file in a snapshot folder in
the Amazon S3 bucket and object prefix that you specify. For more information,
see CreateSnapshot
in the AWS SimSpace Weaver API Reference.
Start a simulation from a snapshot
You can provide a snapshot when you call the StartSimulation
API to start a new simulation. You provide a JSON string as an argument
to the SnapshotS3Location parameter. The string
specifies the Amazon S3 bucket name and object key of the snapshot file.
If you provide a SnapshotS3Location, then you can't
provide a SchemaS3Location. For more information, see
StartSimulation
in the AWS SimSpace Weaver API Reference.
