Create Data Deletion Job

personalize_create_data_deletion_job R Documentation

Creates a batch job that deletes all references to specific users from an Amazon Personalize dataset group in batches

Description

Creates a batch job that deletes all references to specific users from an Amazon Personalize dataset group in batches. You specify the users to delete in a CSV file of userIds in an Amazon S3 bucket. After a job completes, Amazon Personalize no longer trains on the users’ data and no longer considers the users when generating user segments. For more information about creating a data deletion job, see Deleting users.

  • Your input file must be a CSV file with a single USER_ID column that lists the users IDs. For more information about preparing the CSV file, see Preparing your data deletion file and uploading it to Amazon S3.

  • To give Amazon Personalize permission to access your input CSV file of userIds, you must specify an IAM service role that has permission to read from the data source. This role needs GetObject and ListBucket permissions for the bucket and its content. These permissions are the same as importing data. For information on granting access to your Amazon S3 bucket, see Giving Amazon Personalize Access to Amazon S3 Resources.

After you create a job, it can take up to a day to delete all references to the users from datasets and models. Until the job completes, Amazon Personalize continues to use the data when training. And if you use a User Segmentation recipe, the users might appear in user segments.

Status

A data deletion job can have one of the following statuses:

  • PENDING \ IN_PROGRESS \ COMPLETED -or- FAILED

To get the status of the data deletion job, call describe_data_deletion_job API operation and specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the job. If the status is FAILED, the response includes a failureReason key, which describes why the job failed.
