URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

jobId

A job identifier which must be unique for your account. We recommend using a UUID. Alpha-numeric characters, "-" and "_" are valid for use here.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+

Required: Yes

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

abortConfig

Allows you to create the criteria to abort a job.

Type: AbortConfig object

Required: No

description

A short text description of the job.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 2028.

Pattern: [^\p{C}]+

Required: No

destinationPackageVersions

The package version Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) that are installed on the device when the job successfully completes. The package version must be in either the Published or Deprecated state when the job deploys. For more information, see Package version lifecycle.

Note:The following Length Constraints relates to a single ARN. Up to 25 package version ARNs are allowed.

Type: Array of strings

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1600.

Pattern: ^arn:[!-~]+$

Required: No

document

The job document. Required if you don't specify a value for documentSource.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 32768.

Required: No

documentParameters

Parameters of an AWS managed template that you can specify to create the job document.

Note

documentParameters can only be used when creating jobs from AWS managed templates. This parameter can't be used with custom job templates or to create jobs from them.

Type: String to string map

Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Key Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+

Value Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 512.

Value Pattern: [^\p{C}]+

Required: No

documentSource

An S3 link, or S3 object URL, to the job document. The link is an Amazon S3 object URL and is required if you don't specify a value for document.

For example, --document-source https://s3.region-code.amazonaws.com/example-firmware/device-firmware.1.0

For more information, see Methods for accessing a bucket.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1350.

Required: No

jobExecutionsRetryConfig

Allows you to create the criteria to retry a job.

Type: JobExecutionsRetryConfig object

Required: No

jobExecutionsRolloutConfig

Allows you to create a staged rollout of the job.

Type: JobExecutionsRolloutConfig object

Required: No

jobTemplateArn

The ARN of the job template used to create the job.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1600.

Pattern: ^arn:[!-~]+$

Required: No

namespaceId

The namespace used to indicate that a job is a customer-managed job.

When you specify a value for this parameter, AWS IoT Core sends jobs notifications to MQTT topics that contain the value in the following format.

$aws/things/THING_NAME/jobs/JOB_ID/notify-namespace-NAMESPACE_ID/

Note

The namespaceId feature is only supported by AWS IoT Greengrass at this time. For more information, see Setting up AWS IoT Greengrass core devices.

Type: String

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+

Required: No

presignedUrlConfig

Configuration information for pre-signed S3 URLs.

Type: PresignedUrlConfig object

Required: No

schedulingConfig

The configuration that allows you to schedule a job for a future date and time in addition to specifying the end behavior for each job execution.

Type: SchedulingConfig object

Required: No

tags

Metadata which can be used to manage the job.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Required: No

targets

A list of things and thing groups to which the job should be sent.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item.

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 2048.

Required: Yes

targetSelection

Specifies whether the job will continue to run (CONTINUOUS), or will be complete after all those things specified as targets have completed the job (SNAPSHOT). If continuous, the job may also be run on a thing when a change is detected in a target. For example, a job will run on a thing when the thing is added to a target group, even after the job was completed by all things originally in the group.

Note

We recommend that you use continuous jobs instead of snapshot jobs for dynamic thing group targets. By using continuous jobs, devices that join the group receive the job execution even after the job has been created.

Type: String

Valid Values: CONTINUOUS | SNAPSHOT

Required: No

timeoutConfig

Specifies the amount of time each device has to finish its execution of the job. The timer is started when the job execution status is set to IN_PROGRESS. If the job execution status is not set to another terminal state before the time expires, it will be automatically set to TIMED_OUT.

Type: TimeoutConfig object

Required: No
