AWS Step Functions

AWS Step Functions is a service that lets you coordinate the components of distributed applications and microservices using visual workflows.

You can use Step Functions to build applications from individual components, each of which performs a discrete function, or task, allowing you to scale and change applications quickly. Step Functions provides a console that helps visualize the components of your application as a series of steps. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries steps when there are errors, so your application executes in order and as expected, every time. Step Functions logs the state of each step, so you can diagnose and debug problems quickly.

Step Functions manages operations and underlying infrastructure to ensure your application is available at any scale. You can run tasks on AWS, your own servers, or any system that has access to AWS. You can access and use Step Functions using the console, the AWS SDKs, or an HTTP API. For more information about Step Functions, see the AWS Step Functions Developer Guide .

Field Detail

ENDPOINT_PREFIX

static final String ENDPOINT_PREFIX

The region metadata service name for computing region endpoints. You can use this value to retrieve metadata (such as supported regions) of the service.

RegionUtils.getRegionsForService(String), Constant Field Values

Method Detail

setEndpoint

@Deprecated
void setEndpoint(String endpoint)

Deprecated. use AwsClientBuilder#setEndpointConfiguration(AwsClientBuilder.EndpointConfiguration) for example: builder.setEndpointConfiguration(new EndpointConfiguration(endpoint, signingRegion));

Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("states.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"). Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "states.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "states.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.

For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=3912

This method is not threadsafe. An endpoint should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

Parameters:

endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "states.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "states.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.

setRegion

@Deprecated
void setRegion(Region region)

Deprecated. use AwsClientBuilder#setRegion(String)

An alternative to setEndpoint(String), sets the regional endpoint for this client's service calls. Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

By default, all service endpoints in all regions use the https protocol. To use http instead, specify it in the ClientConfiguration supplied at construction.

This method is not threadsafe. A region should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

Parameters:

region - The region this client will communicate with. See Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions) for accessing a given region. Must not be null and must be a region where the service is available.

Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions), Region.createClient(Class, com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentialsProvider, ClientConfiguration), Region.isServiceSupported(String)

createActivity

CreateActivityResult createActivity(CreateActivityRequest createActivityRequest)

Creates an activity. An Activity is a task which you write, in any language and hosted on any machine which has access to AWS Step Functions. Activities must poll Step Functions using the GetActivityTask and respond using SendTask* API calls. This function lets Step Functions know the existence of your activity and returns an identifier for use in a state machine and when polling from the activity.

Parameters:

createActivityRequest -

Returns:

Result of the CreateActivity operation returned by the service.

Throws:

ActivityLimitExceededException - The maximum number of activities has been reached. Existing activities must be deleted before a new activity can be created.

InvalidNameException - The provided name is invalid.

See Also:

AWS API Documentation

createStateMachine

CreateStateMachineResult createStateMachine(CreateStateMachineRequest createStateMachineRequest)

Creates a state machine. A state machine consists of a collection of states that can do work (Task states), determine which states to transition to next (Choice states), stop an execution with an error (Fail states), and so on. State machines are specified using a JSON-based, structured language.

Parameters:

createStateMachineRequest -

Returns:

Result of the CreateStateMachine operation returned by the service.

Throws:

InvalidArnException - The provided Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is invalid.

InvalidDefinitionException - The provided Amazon States Language definition is invalid.

InvalidNameException - The provided name is invalid.

StateMachineAlreadyExistsException - A state machine with the same name but a different definition or role ARN already exists.

StateMachineDeletingException - The specified state machine is being deleted.

StateMachineLimitExceededException - The maximum number of state machines has been reached. Existing state machines must be deleted before a new state machine can be created.

deleteStateMachine

DeleteStateMachineResult deleteStateMachine(DeleteStateMachineRequest deleteStateMachineRequest)

Deletes a state machine. This is an asynchronous operation-- it sets the state machine's status to "DELETING" and begins the delete process. Each state machine execution will be deleted the next time it makes a state transition. After all executions have completed or been deleted, the state machine itself will be deleted.

Parameters:

deleteStateMachineRequest -

Returns:

Result of the DeleteStateMachine operation returned by the service.

Throws:

InvalidArnException - The provided Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is invalid.

getActivityTask

GetActivityTaskResult getActivityTask(GetActivityTaskRequest getActivityTaskRequest)

Used by workers to retrieve a task (with the specified activity ARN) which has been scheduled for execution by a running state machine. This initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds as soon as a task becomes available (i.e. an execution of a task of this type is needed.) The maximum time the service holds on to the request before responding is 60 seconds. If no task is available within 60 seconds, the poll will return a taskToken with a null string.

Workers should set their client side socket timeout to at least 65 seconds (5 seconds higher than the maximum time the service may hold the poll request).

Parameters:

getActivityTaskRequest -

Returns:

Result of the GetActivityTask operation returned by the service.

Throws:

ActivityDoesNotExistException - The specified activity does not exist.

ActivityWorkerLimitExceededException - The maximum number of workers concurrently polling for activity tasks has been reached.

InvalidArnException - The provided Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is invalid.

Returns the history of the specified execution as a list of events. By default, the results are returned in ascending order of the timeStamp of the events. Use the reverseOrder parameter to get the latest events first. The results may be split into multiple pages. To retrieve subsequent pages, make the call again using the nextToken returned by the previous call.

Parameters:

getExecutionHistoryRequest -

Returns:

Result of the GetExecutionHistory operation returned by the service.

Throws:

ExecutionDoesNotExistException - The specified execution does not exist.

InvalidArnException - The provided Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is invalid.

InvalidTokenException - The provided token is invalid.

Returns:

Result of the ListActivities operation returned by the service.

Throws:

InvalidTokenException - The provided token is invalid.

See Also:

AWS API Documentation

listExecutions

ListExecutionsResult listExecutions(ListExecutionsRequest listExecutionsRequest)

Lists the executions of a state machine that meet the filtering criteria. The results may be split into multiple pages. To retrieve subsequent pages, make the call again using the nextToken returned by the previous call.

Parameters:

InvalidTokenException - The provided token is invalid.

TaskTimedOutException

See Also:

AWS API Documentation

sendTaskHeartbeat

SendTaskHeartbeatResult sendTaskHeartbeat(SendTaskHeartbeatRequest sendTaskHeartbeatRequest)

Used by workers to report to the service that the task represented by the specified taskToken is still making progress. This action resets the Heartbeat clock. The Heartbeat threshold is specified in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition. This action does not in itself create an event in the execution history. However, if the task times out, the execution history will contain an ActivityTimedOut event.

The Timeout of a task, defined in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition, is its maximum allowed duration, regardless of the number of SendTaskHeartbeat requests received.

This operation is only useful for long-lived tasks to report the liveliness of the task.

Parameters:

sendTaskHeartbeatRequest -

Returns:

Result of the SendTaskHeartbeat operation returned by the service.

Throws:

TaskDoesNotExistException

InvalidTokenException - The provided token is invalid.

TaskTimedOutException

See Also:

AWS API Documentation

Stops an execution.

Parameters:

stopExecutionRequest -

Returns:

Result of the StopExecution operation returned by the service.

Throws:

ExecutionDoesNotExistException - The specified execution does not exist.

InvalidArnException - The provided Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is invalid.

See Also:

AWS API Documentation

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shuts down this client object, releasing any resources that might be held open. This is an optional method, and callers are not expected to call it, but can if they want to explicitly release any open resources. Once a client has been shutdown, it should not be used to make any more requests.

getCachedResponseMetadata

ResponseMetadata getCachedResponseMetadata(AmazonWebServiceRequest request)

Returns additional metadata for a previously executed successful request, typically used for debugging issues where a service isn't acting as expected. This data isn't considered part of the result data returned by an operation, so it's available through this separate, diagnostic interface.

Response metadata is only cached for a limited period of time, so if you need to access this extra diagnostic information for an executed request, you should use this method to retrieve it as soon as possible after executing a request.

Parameters:

request - The originally executed request.

Returns:

The response metadata for the specified request, or null if none is available.
