Used by workers to get an ActivityTask from the specified activity taskList. This initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds as soon as a task becomes available. 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 an empty result. An empty result, in this context, means that an ActivityTask is returned, but that the value of taskToken is an empty string. If a task is returned, the worker should use its type to identify and process it correctly.

• Use a `Resource` element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.
• Use an `Action` element to allow or deny permission to call this action.
• Constrain the `taskList.name` parameter by using a **Condition** element with the `swf:taskList.name` key to allow the action to access only certain task lists.

Used by deciders to get a DecisionTask from the specified decision taskList. A decision task may be returned for any open workflow execution that is using the specified task list. The task includes a paginated view of the history of the workflow execution. The decider should use the workflow type and the history to determine how to properly handle the task.

This action initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds as soon a task becomes available. If no decision task is available in the specified task list before the timeout of 60 seconds expires, an empty result is returned. An empty result, in this context, means that a DecisionTask is returned, but that the value of taskToken is an empty string.

• Use a `Resource` element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.
• Use an `Action` element to allow or deny permission to call this action.
• Constrain the `taskList.name` parameter by using a **Condition** element with the `swf:taskList.name` key to allow the action to access only certain task lists.

Used by activity workers to report to the service that the ActivityTask represented by the specified taskToken is still making progress. The worker can also (optionally) specify details of the progress, for example percent complete, using the details parameter. This action can also be used by the worker as a mechanism to check if cancellation is being requested for the activity task. If a cancellation is being attempted for the specified task, then the boolean cancelRequested flag returned by the service is set to true.

This action resets the taskHeartbeatTimeout clock. The taskHeartbeatTimeout is specified in RegisterActivityType.

This action does not in itself create an event in the workflow execution history. However, if the task times out, the workflow execution history will contain a ActivityTaskTimedOut event that contains the information from the last heartbeat generated by the activity worker.

• Use a `Resource` element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.

Access Control

You can use IAM policies to control this action’s access to Amazon SWF resources as follows:

• Use an `Action` element to allow or deny permission to call this action.
• You cannot use an IAM policy to constrain this action's parameters.

• Constrain the following parameters by using a `Condition` element with the appropriate keys.

  • `name`: String constraint. The key is `swf:name`.
  • `version`: String constraint. The key is `swf:version`.

Records a WorkflowExecutionCancelRequested event in the currently running workflow execution identified by the given domain, workflowId, and runId. This logically requests the cancellation of the workflow execution as a whole. It is up to the decider to take appropriate actions when it receives an execution history with this event.

• Use a `Resource` element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.
• Use an `Action` element to allow or deny permission to call this action.
• You cannot use an IAM policy to constrain this action's parameters.

Used by workers to tell the service that the ActivityTask identified by the taskToken was successfully canceled. Additional details can be optionally provided using the details argument.

These details (if provided) appear in the ActivityTaskCanceled event added to the workflow history.

• Use a `Resource` element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.
• Use an `Action` element to allow or deny permission to call this action.
• You cannot use an IAM policy to constrain this action's parameters.

• Use a `Resource` element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.
• Use an `Action` element to allow or deny permission to call this action.
• You cannot use an IAM policy to constrain this action's parameters.

Used by workers to tell the service that the ActivityTask identified by the taskToken has failed with reason (if specified). The reason and details appear in the ActivityTaskFailed event added to the workflow history.

A task is considered open from the time that it is scheduled until it is closed. Therefore a task is reported as open while a worker is processing it. A task is closed after it has been specified in a call to RespondActivityTaskCompleted, RespondActivityTaskCanceled, RespondActivityTaskFailed, or the task has timed out.

Access Control

You can use IAM policies to control this action’s access to Amazon SWF resources as follows:

• Use a `Resource` element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.
• Use an `Action` element to allow or deny permission to call this action.
• You cannot use an IAM policy to constrain this action's parameters.

Used by deciders to tell the service that the DecisionTask identified by the taskToken has successfully completed. The decisions argument specifies the list of decisions made while processing the task.

A DecisionTaskCompleted event is added to the workflow history. The executionContext specified is attached to the event in the workflow execution history.

Access Control

If an IAM policy grants permission to use RespondDecisionTaskCompleted, it can express permissions for the list of decisions in the decisions parameter. Each of the decisions has one or more parameters, much like a regular API call. To allow for policies to be as readable as possible, you can express permissions on decisions as if they were actual API calls, including applying conditions to some parameters. For more information, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.
