Amazon SQS - Set queue attributes |
Declaration
<AMAWSSQS ACTIVITY="set_queue_attributes" PROVIDER="session_based" SESSION="text" ACCESSKEY="text" SECRETKEY="text (encrypted)" USERAGENT="text" MAXERRORRETRY="number" SERVICEURL="text" PROXYHOST="text" PROXYPORT="number" PROXYUSER="text" PROXYPWD="text (encrypted)" SIGNMETHOD="text" SIGNVERSION="number" QUEUEURL="text"><ATTRIBUTE NAME="text" VALUE="text" REPLACE="True/False" /></AMAWSSQS>
Description
Sets an attribute of a queue. Note that currently, you can set only the Visibility Timeout attribute for a queue.
IMPORTANT: Automate's SQS activities use Amazon's
SQS engine to perform their work, therefore, launching and operating
Amazon SQS through Automate requires a valid Access Key ID and
Secret Access Key.
Practical Usage
See Description.
Parameters
Connection
Property | Type | Required | Default | Markup | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Connection | --- | --- | --- | --- | Indicates
where AWS user credentials and preferences should originate from.
This is a design mode parameter used only during task construction
and configuration, thus, comprises no markup. The available options
are:
|
Session | Text | Yes, if Connection is set to Session | SQSSession1 | SESSION="SQSession1" | The name of an existing session to attach this activity to. This parameter is active only if the Connection parameter is set to Session. The default session name is 'SQSSession1'. |
Access key | Text | Yes, if Connection is set to Host | (Empty) | ACCESSKEY="022QF06E7MXBSH9DHM02" | A 20-character alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies the owner of the AWS service account, similar to a username. This key along with a corresponding secret access key forms a secure information set that AWS uses to confirm a valid user's identity. This parameter is active only if the Connection parameter is set to Host. |
Secret access key | Text | Yes, if Connection is set to Host | (Empty) | SECRETKEY="kWcrlUX5JEDGM/LtmEENI/aVmYvHNif5zB+d9+ct" | A 40-character string that serves the role as password to access the AWS service account. This along with an associated access key forms a secure information set that SQS uses to confirm a valid user's identity. This parameter is active only if the Connection parameter is set to Host. |
User agent | Text | No | Automate | USERAGENT="Automate" | The name of the client or application initiating requests to AWS, which in this case, is Automate. This parameter's default value is 'Automate'. |
Service URL | Text | No | (Empty) | SERVICEURL="https://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com" | The URL that provides the service endpoint. To make the service call to a different region, you can pass the region-specific endpoint URL. For example, entering https://sqs.us-west-1.amazonaws.com points to US West (Northern California) region. A complete list of SQS regions, along with their associated endpoints and valid protocols can be found below under SQS Endpoints and Regions. |
Maximum number of retries on error | Number | No | (Empty) | MAXERRORRETRY="4" | The total amount of times this activity should retry its request to the server before returning an error. Network components can generate errors anytime in the life of a request, thus, implementing retries can increase reliability. |
Proxy host | Text | No | (Empty) | PROXYHOST="proxy.host.com" | The host name (for example, server.domain.com) or IP address (for example, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of the proxy server to use when connecting to AWS. |
Proxy port | Number | No | (Empty) | PROXYPORT="1028" | The port that should be used to connect to the proxy server. |
Proxy username | Text | No | (Empty) | PROXYUSER="username" | The username that should be used to authenticate connection with the proxy server (if required). |
Proxy password | Text | No | (Empty) | PROXYPWD="encrypted" | The password that should be used to authenticate connection with the proxy server (if required). |
Signature method | Text | No | (Empty) | SIGNMETHOD="HmacSHA256" | The signature method to use for signing the request. This provides a valid hashing algorithm for signature calculation. Acceptable AWS signature methods are HmacSHA1 and HmacSHA256. |
Signature version | Number | No | (Empty) | SIGNVERSION="2" | The signature version for signing the request. Valid AWS signature versions are 2 and 4. The difference with version 4 is that it allows you to sign your message using a key that is derived from your secret access key rather than using the secret access key itself. |
Queue
Property | Type | Required | Default | Markup | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Queue URL | Text | Yes | (Empty) | QUEUEURL="https://queue.amazonaws.com/963068290131/TestSNSNotification" | The URL uniquely identifying the queue in which an attribute should be set. |
Name | Text | No | (Empty) | NAME="VisibilityTimeout" | The
new attribute you want to set. NOTE: Currently, you can set only the Visibility Timeout attribute for
a queue. |
Value | Text | No | (Empty) | VALUE="86400" | The value of the attribute you want to set. For visibility time out, the value must be an integer from 0 to 86400 (24 hours). |
