{'configuration': {'defaultTaskPriority': 'string'}}
Returns information about the specified activity type. This includes configuration settings provided when the type was registered and other general information about the type.
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.
Constrain the following parameters by using a Condition element with the appropriate keys.
activityType.name : String constraint. The key is swf:activityType.name .
activityType.version : String constraint. The key is swf:activityType.version .
If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails. The associated event attribute's cause parameter will be set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Detailed information about an activity type.
typeInfo (dict) --
General information about the activity type.
The status of activity type (returned in the ActivityTypeInfo structure) can be one of the following.
REGISTERED : The type is registered and available. Workers supporting this type should be running.
DEPRECATED : The type was deprecated using DeprecateActivityType, but is still in use. You should keep workers supporting this type running. You cannot create new tasks of this type.
activityType (dict) --
The ActivityType type structure representing the activity type.
name (string) --
The name of this activity.
Note
The combination of activity type name and version must be unique within a domain.
version (string) --
The version of this activity.
Note
The combination of activity type name and version must be unique with in a domain.

configuration (dict) --
The configuration settings registered with the activity type.
defaultTaskStartToCloseTimeout (string) --
Optional. The default maximum duration for tasks of an activity type specified when registering the activity type. You can override this default when scheduling a task through the ScheduleActivityTask Decision.
The duration is specified in seconds; an integer greater than or equal to 0. The value "NONE" can be used to specify unlimited duration.
defaultTaskHeartbeatTimeout (string) --
Optional. The default maximum time, in seconds, before which a worker processing a task must report progress by calling RecordActivityTaskHeartbeat.
You can specify this value only when registering an activity type. The registered default value can be overridden when you schedule a task through the ScheduleActivityTask Decision. If the activity worker subsequently attempts to record a heartbeat or returns a result, the activity worker receives an UnknownResource fault. In this case, Amazon SWF no longer considers the activity task to be valid; the activity worker should clean up the activity task.
The duration is specified in seconds; an integer greater than or equal to 0. The value "NONE" can be used to specify unlimited duration.
defaultTaskList (dict) --
Optional. The default task list specified for this activity type at registration. This default is used if a task list is not provided when a task is scheduled through the ScheduleActivityTask Decision. You can override the default registered task list when scheduling a task through the ScheduleActivityTask Decision.
name (string) --
The name of the task list.
defaultTaskPriority (string) --
Optional. The default task priority for tasks of this activity type, specified at registration. If not set, then "0" will be used as the default priority. This default can be overridden when scheduling an activity task.
Valid values are integers that range from Java's Integer.MIN_VALUE (-2147483648) to Integer.MAX_VALUE (2147483647). Higher numbers indicate higher priority.
For more information about setting task priority, see Setting Task Priority in the Amazon Simple Workflow Developer Guide .

'workflowExecutionContinuedAsNewEventAttributes': {'taskPriority': 'string'},
'workflowExecutionStartedEventAttributes': {'taskPriority': 'string'}}}
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.
Warning
Deciders should set their client side socket timeout to at least 70 seconds (10 seconds higher than the timeout).
Warning
Because the number of workflow history events for a single workflow execution might be very large, the result returned might be split up across a number of pages. To retrieve subsequent pages, make additional calls to PollForDecisionTask using the nextPageToken returned by the initial call. Note that you do not call GetWorkflowExecutionHistory with this nextPageToken . Instead, call PollForDecisionTask again.
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.
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.
If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails. The associated event attribute's cause parameter will be set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.
Request Syntax

domain='string',
taskList={
'name': 'string'
},
identity='string',
nextPageToken='string',
maximumPageSize=123,
reverseOrder=True|False
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the domain containing the task lists to poll.
dict
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the task list to poll for decision tasks.
The specified string must not start or end with whitespace. It must not contain a : (colon), / (slash), | (vertical bar), or any control characters (u0000-u001f | u007f - u009f). Also, it must not contain the literal string quotarnquot.
name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the task list.
string
Identity of the decider making the request, which is recorded in the DecisionTaskStarted event in the workflow history. This enables diagnostic tracing when problems arise. The form of this identity is user defined.
string
If a NextPageToken was returned by a previous call, there are more results available. To retrieve the next page of results, make the call again using the returned token in nextPageToken . Keep all other arguments unchanged.
The configured maximumPageSize determines how many results can be returned in a single call.
Note
The nextPageToken returned by this action cannot be used with GetWorkflowExecutionHistory to get the next page. You must call PollForDecisionTask again (with the nextPageToken ) to retrieve the next page of history records. Calling PollForDecisionTask with a nextPageToken will not return a new decision task.
.
integer
The maximum number of results that will be returned per call. nextPageToken can be used to obtain futher pages of results. The default is 100, which is the maximum allowed page size. You can, however, specify a page size smaller than 100.
This is an upper limit only; the actual number of results returned per call may be fewer than the specified maximum.
boolean
When set to true , returns the events in reverse order. By default the results are returned in ascending order of the eventTimestamp of the events.

Registers a new activity type along with its configuration settings in the specified domain.
Warning
A TypeAlreadyExists fault is returned if the type already exists in the domain. You cannot change any configuration settings of the type after its registration, and it must be registered as a new version.
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.
Constrain the following parameters by using a Condition element with the appropriate keys.
defaultTaskList.name : String constraint. The key is swf:defaultTaskList.name .
name : String constraint. The key is swf:name .
version : String constraint. The key is swf:version .
If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails. The associated event attribute's cause parameter will be set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.

The version of the activity type.
Note
The activity type consists of the name and version, the combination of which must be unique within the domain.
The specified string must not start or end with whitespace. It must not contain a : (colon), / (slash), | (vertical bar), or any control characters (u0000-u001f | u007f - u009f). Also, it must not contain the literal string quotarnquot.
string
A textual description of the activity type.
string
If set, specifies the default maximum duration that a worker can take to process tasks of this activity type. This default can be overridden when scheduling an activity task using the ScheduleActivityTask Decision.
The duration is specified in seconds; an integer greater than or equal to 0. The value "NONE" can be used to specify unlimited duration.
string
If set, specifies the default maximum time before which a worker processing a task of this type must report progress by calling RecordActivityTaskHeartbeat. If the timeout is exceeded, the activity task is automatically timed out. This default can be overridden when scheduling an activity task using the ScheduleActivityTask Decision. If the activity worker subsequently attempts to record a heartbeat or returns a result, the activity worker receives an UnknownResource fault. In this case, Amazon SWF no longer considers the activity task to be valid; the activity worker should clean up the activity task.
The duration is specified in seconds; an integer greater than or equal to 0. The value "NONE" can be used to specify unlimited duration.
dict
If set, specifies the default task list to use for scheduling tasks of this activity type. This default task list is used if a task list is not provided when a task is scheduled through the ScheduleActivityTask Decision.
name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the task list.
string
The default task priority to assign to the activity type. If not assigned, then "0" will be used. Valid values are integers that range from Java's Integer.MIN_VALUE (-2147483648) to Integer.MAX_VALUE (2147483647). Higher numbers indicate higher priority.

{'defaultTaskPriority': 'string'}
Registers a new workflow type and its configuration settings in the specified domain.
The retention period for the workflow history is set by the RegisterDomain action.
Warning
If the type already exists, then a TypeAlreadyExists fault is returned. You cannot change the configuration settings of a workflow type once it is registered and it must be registered as a new version.
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.
Constrain the following parameters by using a Condition element with the appropriate keys.
defaultTaskList.name : String constraint. The key is swf:defaultTaskList.name .
name : String constraint. The key is swf:name .
version : String constraint. The key is swf:version .
If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails. The associated event attribute's cause parameter will be set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.

Textual description of the workflow type.
string
If set, specifies the default maximum duration of decision tasks for this workflow type. This default can be overridden when starting a workflow execution using the StartWorkflowExecution action or the StartChildWorkflowExecution Decision.
The duration is specified in seconds; an integer greater than or equal to 0. The value "NONE" can be used to specify unlimited duration.
string
If set, specifies the default maximum duration for executions of this workflow type. You can override this default when starting an execution through the StartWorkflowExecution Action or StartChildWorkflowExecution Decision.
The duration is specified in seconds; an integer greater than or equal to 0. Unlike some of the other timeout parameters in Amazon SWF, you cannot specify a value of "NONE" for defaultExecutionStartToCloseTimeout ; there is a one-year max limit on the time that a workflow execution can run. Exceeding this limit will always cause the workflow execution to time out.
dict
If set, specifies the default task list to use for scheduling decision tasks for executions of this workflow type. This default is used only if a task list is not provided when starting the execution through the StartWorkflowExecution Action or StartChildWorkflowExecution Decision.
name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the task list.
string
The default task priority to assign to the workflow type. If not assigned, then "0" will be used. Valid values are integers that range from Java's Integer.MIN_VALUE (-2147483648) to Integer.MAX_VALUE (2147483647). Higher numbers indicate higher priority.
For more information about setting task priority, see Setting Task Priority in the Amazon Simple Workflow Developer Guide .
string
If set, specifies the default policy to use for the child workflow executions when a workflow execution of this type is terminated, by calling the TerminateWorkflowExecution action explicitly or due to an expired timeout. This default can be overridden when starting a workflow execution using the StartWorkflowExecution action or the StartChildWorkflowExecution Decision.
The supported child policies are:
TERMINATE: the child executions will be terminated.
REQUEST_CANCEL: a request to cancel will be attempted for each child execution by recording a WorkflowExecutionCancelRequested event in its history. It is up to the decider to take appropriate actions when it receives an execution history with this event.
ABANDON: no action will be taken. The child executions will continue to run.
None
{'decisions': {'continueAsNewWorkflowExecutionDecisionAttributes': {'taskPriority': 'string'},
'scheduleActivityTaskDecisionAttributes': {'taskPriority': 'string'},
'startChildWorkflowExecutionDecisionAttributes': {'taskPriority': 'string'}}}
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.

[REQUIRED]
The taskToken from the DecisionTask.
Warning
taskToken is generated by the service and should be treated as an opaque value. If the task is passed to another process, its taskToken must also be passed. This enables it to provide its progress and respond with results.
list
The list of decisions (possibly empty) made by the decider while processing this decision task. See the docs for the Decision structure for details.
(dict) --
Specifies a decision made by the decider. A decision can be one of these types:
CancelTimer : cancels a previously started timer and records a TimerCanceled event in the history.
CancelWorkflowExecution : closes the workflow execution and records a WorkflowExecutionCanceled event in the history.
CompleteWorkflowExecution : closes the workflow execution and records a WorkflowExecutionCompleted event in the history .
ContinueAsNewWorkflowExecution : closes the workflow execution and starts a new workflow execution of the same type using the same workflow id and a unique run Id. A WorkflowExecutionContinuedAsNew event is recorded in the history.
FailWorkflowExecution : closes the workflow execution and records a WorkflowExecutionFailed event in the history.
RecordMarker : records a MarkerRecorded event in the history. Markers can be used for adding custom information in the history for instance to let deciders know that they do not need to look at the history beyond the marker event.
RequestCancelActivityTask : attempts to cancel a previously scheduled activity task. If the activity task was scheduled but has not been assigned to a worker, then it will be canceled. If the activity task was already assigned to a worker, then the worker will be informed that cancellation has been requested in the response to RecordActivityTaskHeartbeat.
RequestCancelExternalWorkflowExecution : requests that a request be made to cancel the specified external workflow execution and records a RequestCancelExternalWorkflowExecutionInitiated event in the history.
ScheduleActivityTask : schedules an activity task.
SignalExternalWorkflowExecution : requests a signal to be delivered to the specified external workflow execution and records a SignalExternalWorkflowExecutionInitiated event in the history.
StartChildWorkflowExecution : requests that a child workflow execution be started and records a StartChildWorkflowExecutionInitiated event in the history. The child workflow execution is a separate workflow execution with its own history.
StartTimer : starts a timer for this workflow execution and records a TimerStarted event in the history. This timer will fire after the specified delay and record a TimerFired event.
Access Control
If you grant permission to use RespondDecisionTaskCompleted , you can use IAM policies to express permissions for the list of decisions returned by this action as if they were members of the API. Treating decisions as a pseudo API maintains a uniform conceptual model and helps keep policies readable. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.
Decision Failure
Decisions can fail for several reasons
The ordering of decisions should follow a logical flow. Some decisions might not make sense in the current context of the workflow execution and will therefore fail.
A limit on your account was reached.
The decision lacks sufficient permissions.
One of the following events might be added to the history to indicate an error. The event attribute's cause parameter indicates the cause. If cause is set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED, the decision failed because it lacked sufficient permissions. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.
ScheduleActivityTaskFailed : a ScheduleActivityTask decision failed. This could happen if the activity type specified in the decision is not registered, is in a deprecated state, or the decision is not properly configured.
RequestCancelActivityTaskFailed : a RequestCancelActivityTask decision failed. This could happen if there is no open activity task with the specified activityId.
StartTimerFailed : a StartTimer decision failed. This could happen if there is another open timer with the same timerId.
CancelTimerFailed : a CancelTimer decision failed. This could happen if there is no open timer with the specified timerId.
StartChildWorkflowExecutionFailed : a StartChildWorkflowExecution decision failed. This could happen if the workflow type specified is not registered, is deprecated, or the decision is not properly configured.
SignalExternalWorkflowExecutionFailed : a SignalExternalWorkflowExecution decision failed. This could happen if the workflowID specified in the decision was incorrect.
RequestCancelExternalWorkflowExecutionFailed : a RequestCancelExternalWorkflowExecution decision failed. This could happen if the workflowID specified in the decision was incorrect.
CancelWorkflowExecutionFailed : a CancelWorkflowExecution decision failed. This could happen if there is an unhandled decision task pending in the workflow execution.
CompleteWorkflowExecutionFailed : a CompleteWorkflowExecution decision failed. This could happen if there is an unhandled decision task pending in the workflow execution.
ContinueAsNewWorkflowExecutionFailed : a ContinueAsNewWorkflowExecution decision failed. This could happen if there is an unhandled decision task pending in the workflow execution or the ContinueAsNewWorkflowExecution decision was not configured correctly.
FailWorkflowExecutionFailed : a FailWorkflowExecution decision failed. This could happen if there is an unhandled decision task pending in the workflow execution.
The preceding error events might occur due to an error in the decider logic, which might put the workflow execution in an unstable state The cause field in the event structure for the error event indicates the cause of the error.
Note
A workflow execution may be closed by the decider by returning one of the following decisions when completing a decision task: CompleteWorkflowExecution , FailWorkflowExecution , CancelWorkflowExecution and ContinueAsNewWorkflowExecution . An UnhandledDecision fault will be returned if a workflow closing decision is specified and a signal or activity event had been added to the history while the decision task was being performed by the decider. Unlike the above situations which are logic issues, this fault is always possible because of race conditions in a distributed system. The right action here is to call RespondDecisionTaskCompleted without any decisions. This would result in another decision task with these new events included in the history. The decider should handle the new events and may decide to close the workflow execution.

ABANDON: no action will be taken. The child executions will continue to run.
Note
A child policy for this workflow execution must be specified either as a default for the workflow type or through this parameter. If neither this parameter is set nor a default child policy was specified at registration time then a fault will be returned.
tagList (list) --
The list of tags to associate with the child workflow execution. A maximum of 5 tags can be specified. You can list workflow executions with a specific tag by calling ListOpenWorkflowExecutions or ListClosedWorkflowExecutions and specifying a TagFilter.
(string) --
string
User defined context to add to workflow execution.
None
{'taskPriority': 'string'}
Starts an execution of the workflow type in the specified domain using the provided workflowId and input data.
This action returns the newly started workflow execution.
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.
Constrain the following parameters by using a Condition element with the appropriate keys.
tagList.member.0 : The key is swf:tagList.member.0 .
tagList.member.1 : The key is swf:tagList.member.1 .
tagList.member.2 : The key is swf:tagList.member.2 .
tagList.member.3 : The key is swf:tagList.member.3 .
tagList.member.4 : The key is swf:tagList.member.4 .
taskList : String constraint. The key is swf:taskList.name .
workflowType.name : String constraint. The key is swf:workflowType.name .
workflowType.version : String constraint. The key is swf:workflowType.version .
If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails. The associated event attribute's cause parameter will be set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.

string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the domain in which the workflow execution is created.
string
[REQUIRED]
The user defined identifier associated with the workflow execution. You can use this to associate a custom identifier with the workflow execution. You may specify the same identifier if a workflow execution is logically a restart of a previous execution. You cannot have two open workflow executions with the same workflowId at the same time.
The specified string must not start or end with whitespace. It must not contain a : (colon), / (slash), | (vertical bar), or any control characters (u0000-u001f | u007f - u009f). Also, it must not contain the literal string quotarnquot.
dict
[REQUIRED]
The type of the workflow to start.
name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Required. The name of the workflow type.
Note
The combination of workflow type name and version must be unique with in a domain.
version (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Required. The version of the workflow type.
Note
The combination of workflow type name and version must be unique with in a domain.
dict
The task list to use for the decision tasks generated for this workflow execution. This overrides the defaultTaskList specified when registering the workflow type.
Note
A task list for this workflow execution must be specified either as a default for the workflow type or through this parameter. If neither this parameter is set nor a default task list was specified at registration time then a fault will be returned.
The specified string must not start or end with whitespace. It must not contain a : (colon), / (slash), | (vertical bar), or any control characters (u0000-u001f | u007f - u009f). Also, it must not contain the literal string quotarnquot.
name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the task list.
string
The task priority to use for this workflow execution. This will override any default priority that was assigned when the workflow type was registered. If not set, then the default task priority for the workflow type will be used. Valid values are integers that range from Java's Integer.MIN_VALUE (-2147483648) to Integer.MAX_VALUE (2147483647). Higher numbers indicate higher priority.
For more information about setting task priority, see Setting Task Priority in the Amazon Simple Workflow Developer Guide .
string
The input for the workflow execution. This is a free form string which should be meaningful to the workflow you are starting. This input is made available to the new workflow execution in the WorkflowExecutionStarted history event.
string
The total duration for this workflow execution. This overrides the defaultExecutionStartToCloseTimeout specified when registering the workflow type.
The duration is specified in seconds; an integer greater than or equal to 0. Exceeding this limit will cause the workflow execution to time out. Unlike some of the other timeout parameters in Amazon SWF, you cannot specify a value of "NONE" for this timeout; there is a one-year max limit on the time that a workflow execution can run.
Note
An execution start-to-close timeout must be specified either through this parameter or as a default when the workflow type is registered. If neither this parameter nor a default execution start-to-close timeout is specified, a fault is returned.
list
The list of tags to associate with the workflow execution. You can specify a maximum of 5 tags. You can list workflow executions with a specific tag by calling ListOpenWorkflowExecutions or ListClosedWorkflowExecutions and specifying a TagFilter.
(string) --
string
Specifies the maximum duration of decision tasks for this workflow execution. This parameter overrides the defaultTaskStartToCloseTimout specified when registering the workflow type using RegisterWorkflowType.
The duration is specified in seconds; an integer greater than or equal to 0. The value "NONE" can be used to specify unlimited duration.
Note
A task start-to-close timeout for this workflow execution must be specified either as a default for the workflow type or through this parameter. If neither this parameter is set nor a default task start-to-close timeout was specified at registration time then a fault will be returned.
string
If set, specifies the policy to use for the child workflow executions of this workflow execution if it is terminated, by calling the TerminateWorkflowExecution action explicitly or due to an expired timeout. This policy overrides the default child policy specified when registering the workflow type using RegisterWorkflowType.
The supported child policies are:
TERMINATE: the child executions will be terminated.
REQUEST_CANCEL: a request to cancel will be attempted for each child execution by recording a WorkflowExecutionCancelRequested event in its history. It is up to the decider to take appropriate actions when it receives an execution history with this event.
ABANDON: no action will be taken. The child executions will continue to run.
Note
A child policy for this workflow execution must be specified either as a default for the workflow type or through this parameter. If neither this parameter is set nor a default child policy was specified at registration time then a fault will be returned.
