type Engine:

string

param Engine:

[REQUIRED]

The database engine. RDS Custom for Oracle supports the following values:

  • custom-oracle-ee

  • custom-oracle-ee-cdb

  • custom-oracle-se2

  • custom-oracle-se2-cdb

type EngineVersion:

string

param EngineVersion:

[REQUIRED]

The name of your CEV. The name format is 19.*customized_string*. For example, a valid CEV name is 19.my_cev1. This setting is required for RDS Custom for Oracle, but optional for Amazon RDS. The combination of Engine and EngineVersion is unique per customer per Region.

type DatabaseInstallationFilesS3BucketName:

string

param DatabaseInstallationFilesS3BucketName:

The name of an Amazon S3 bucket that contains database installation files for your CEV. For example, a valid bucket name is my-custom-installation-files.

type DatabaseInstallationFilesS3Prefix:

string

param DatabaseInstallationFilesS3Prefix:

The Amazon S3 directory that contains the database installation files for your CEV. For example, a valid bucket name is 123456789012/cev1. If this setting isn't specified, no prefix is assumed.

type ImageId:

string

param ImageId:

The ID of the Amazon Machine Image (AMI). For RDS Custom for SQL Server, an AMI ID is required to create a CEV. For RDS Custom for Oracle, the default is the most recent AMI available, but you can specify an AMI ID that was used in a different Oracle CEV. Find the AMIs used by your CEVs by calling the DescribeDBEngineVersions operation.

type KMSKeyId:

string

param KMSKeyId:

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier for an encrypted CEV. A symmetric encryption KMS key is required for RDS Custom, but optional for Amazon RDS.

If you have an existing symmetric encryption KMS key in your account, you can use it with RDS Custom. No further action is necessary. If you don't already have a symmetric encryption KMS key in your account, follow the instructions in Creating a symmetric encryption KMS key in the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service Developer Guide.

You can choose the same symmetric encryption key when you create a CEV and a DB instance, or choose different keys.

type Description:

string

param Description:

An optional description of your CEV.

type Manifest:

string

param Manifest:

The CEV manifest, which is a JSON document that describes the installation .zip files stored in Amazon S3. Specify the name/value pairs in a file or a quoted string. RDS Custom applies the patches in the order in which they are listed.

The following JSON fields are valid:

MediaImportTemplateVersion

Version of the CEV manifest. The date is in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

databaseInstallationFileNames

Ordered list of installation files for the CEV.

opatchFileNames

Ordered list of OPatch installers used for the Oracle DB engine.

psuRuPatchFileNames

The PSU and RU patches for this CEV.

OtherPatchFileNames

The patches that are not in the list of PSU and RU patches. Amazon RDS applies these patches after applying the PSU and RU patches.

For more information, see Creating the CEV manifest in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

type Tags:

list

param Tags:

A list of tags. For more information, see Tagging Amazon RDS Resources in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

  • (dict) --

    Metadata assigned to an Amazon RDS resource consisting of a key-value pair.

    For more information, see Tagging Amazon RDS Resources in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

    • Key (string) --

      A key is the required name of the tag. The string value can be from 1 to 128 Unicode characters in length and can't be prefixed with aws: or rds:. The string can only contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, '_', '.', ':', '/', '=', '+', '-', '@' (Java regex: "^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-@]*)$").

    • Value (string) --

      A value is the optional value of the tag. The string value can be from 1 to 256 Unicode characters in length and can't be prefixed with aws: or rds:. The string can only contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, '_', '.', ':', '/', '=', '+', '-', '@' (Java regex: "^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-@]*)$").

type SourceCustomDbEngineVersionIdentifier:

string

param SourceCustomDbEngineVersionIdentifier:

The ARN of a CEV to use as a source for creating a new CEV. You can specify a different Amazon Machine Imagine (AMI) by using either Source or UseAwsProvidedLatestImage. You can't specify a different JSON manifest when you specify SourceCustomDbEngineVersionIdentifier.

type UseAwsProvidedLatestImage:

DeleteCustomDBEngineVersion (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'SupportsLimitlessDatabase': 'boolean',
 'ValidUpgradeTarget': {'SupportsLimitlessDatabase': 'boolean'}}

Deletes a custom engine version. To run this command, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:

  • The CEV must not be the default for RDS Custom. If it is, change the default before running this command.

  • The CEV must not be associated with an RDS Custom DB instance, RDS Custom instance snapshot, or automated backup of your RDS Custom instance.

Typically, deletion takes a few minutes.

For more information, see Modifying CEV status in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Request Syntax

client.modify_custom_db_engine_version(
    Engine='string',
    EngineVersion='string',
    Description='string',
    Status='available'|'inactive'|'inactive-except-restore'
)
type Engine:

string

param Engine:

[REQUIRED]

The database engine. RDS Custom for Oracle supports the following values:

  • custom-oracle-ee

  • custom-oracle-ee-cdb

  • custom-oracle-se2

  • custom-oracle-se2-cdb

type EngineVersion:

string

param EngineVersion:

[REQUIRED]

The custom engine version (CEV) that you want to modify. This option is required for RDS Custom for Oracle, but optional for Amazon RDS. The combination of Engine and EngineVersion is unique per customer per Amazon Web Services Region.

type Description:

string

param Description:

An optional description of your CEV.

type Status:

string

param Status:

The availability status to be assigned to the CEV. Valid values are as follows:

available

You can use this CEV to create a new RDS Custom DB instance.

inactive

You can create a new RDS Custom instance by restoring a DB snapshot with this CEV. You can't patch or create new instances with this CEV.

You can change any status to any status. A typical reason to change status is to prevent the accidental use of a CEV, or to make a deprecated CEV eligible for use again. For example, you might change the status of your CEV from available to inactive, and from inactive back to available. To change the availability status of the CEV, it must not currently be in use by an RDS Custom instance, snapshot, or automated backup.
