Start Sync Execution

sfn_start_sync_execution R Documentation

Starts a Synchronous Express state machine execution

Description

Starts a Synchronous Express state machine execution. start_sync_execution is not available for STANDARD workflows.

start_sync_execution will return a ⁠200 OK⁠ response, even if your execution fails, because the status code in the API response doesn't reflect function errors. Error codes are reserved for errors that prevent your execution from running, such as permissions errors, limit errors, or issues with your state machine code and configuration.

This API action isn't logged in CloudTrail.

Usage

sfn_start_sync_execution(stateMachineArn, name, input, traceHeader,
  includedData)

Arguments

stateMachineArn

[required] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine to execute.

name

The name of the execution.

input

The string that contains the JSON input data for the execution, for example:

⁠"input": "{\"first_name\" : \"test\"}"⁠

If you don't include any JSON input data, you still must include the two braces, for example: "input": "{}"

Length constraints apply to the payload size, and are expressed as bytes in UTF-8 encoding.

traceHeader

Passes the X-Ray trace header. The trace header can also be passed in the request payload.

includedData

If your state machine definition is encrypted with a KMS key, callers must have kms:Decrypt permission to decrypt the definition. Alternatively, you can call the API with includedData = METADATA_ONLY to get a successful response without the encrypted definition.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  executionArn = "string",
  stateMachineArn = "string",
  name = "string",
  startDate = as.POSIXct(
    "2015-01-01"
  ),
  stopDate = as.POSIXct(
    "2015-01-01"
  ),
  status = "SUCCEEDED"|"FAILED"|"TIMED_OUT",
  error = "string",
  cause = "string",
  input = "string",
  inputDetails = list(
    included = TRUE|FALSE
  ),
  output = "string",
  outputDetails = list(
    included = TRUE|FALSE
  ),
  traceHeader = "string",
  billingDetails = list(
    billedMemoryUsedInMB = 123,
    billedDurationInMilliseconds = 123
  )
)

Request syntax

svc$start_sync_execution(
  stateMachineArn = "string",
  name = "string",
  input = "string",
  traceHeader = "string",
  includedData = "ALL_DATA"|"METADATA_ONLY"
)
