 ** RelativePosition **   <a name="mediatailor-Type-Transition-RelativePosition"></a>
The position where this program will be inserted relative to the `RelativePosition`.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `BEFORE_PROGRAM | AFTER_PROGRAM`   
Required: Yes

 ** Type **   <a name="mediatailor-Type-Transition-Type"></a>
Defines when the program plays in the schedule. You can set the value to `ABSOLUTE` or `RELATIVE`.  
 `ABSOLUTE` - The program plays at a specific wall clock time. This setting can only be used for channels using the `LINEAR` `PlaybackMode`.  
Note the following considerations when using `ABSOLUTE` transitions:  
If the preceding program in the schedule has a duration that extends past the wall clock time, MediaTailor truncates the preceding program on a common segment boundary.  
If there are gaps in playback, MediaTailor plays the `FillerSlate` you configured for your linear channel.  
 `RELATIVE` - The program is inserted into the schedule either before or after a program that you specify via `RelativePosition`.  
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** DurationMillis **   <a name="mediatailor-Type-Transition-DurationMillis"></a>
The duration of the live program in seconds.  
Type: Long  
Required: No

 ** RelativeProgram **   <a name="mediatailor-Type-Transition-RelativeProgram"></a>
The name of the program that this program will be inserted next to, as defined by `RelativePosition`.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** ScheduledStartTimeMillis **   <a name="mediatailor-Type-Transition-ScheduledStartTimeMillis"></a>
The date and time that the program is scheduled to start, in epoch milliseconds.
