create-snapshot

Description

Creates a snapshot of the specified simulation. A snapshot is a file that contains simulation state data at a specific time. The state data saved in a snapshot includes entity data from the State Fabric, the simulation configuration specified in the schema, and the clock tick number. You can use the snapshot to initialize a new simulation. For more information about snapshots, see Snapshots in the SimSpace Weaver User Guide .

You specify a Destination when you create a snapshot. The Destination is the name of an Amazon S3 bucket and an optional ObjectKeyPrefix . The ObjectKeyPrefix is usually the name of a folder in the bucket. SimSpace Weaver creates a snapshot folder inside the Destination and places the snapshot file there.

The snapshot file is an Amazon S3 object. It has an object key with the form: `` object-key-prefix /snapshot/simulation-name -YYMMdd -HHmm -ss .zip`` , where:

  • ``YY `` is the 2-digit year
  • ``MM `` is the 2-digit month
  • ``dd `` is the 2-digit day of the month
  • ``HH `` is the 2-digit hour (24-hour clock)
  • ``mm `` is the 2-digit minutes
  • ``ss `` is the 2-digit seconds

Options

--destination (structure)

The Amazon S3 bucket and optional folder (object key prefix) where SimSpace Weaver creates the snapshot file.

The Amazon S3 bucket must be in the same Amazon Web Services Region as the simulation.

BucketName -> (string)

The name of an Amazon S3 bucket. For more information about buckets, see Creating, configuring, and working with Amazon S3 buckets in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide .

ObjectKeyPrefix -> (string)

A string prefix for an Amazon S3 object key. It's usually a folder name. For more information about folders in Amazon S3, see Organizing objects in the Amazon S3 console using folders in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide .

Shorthand Syntax:

BucketName=string,ObjectKeyPrefix=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "BucketName": "string",
  "ObjectKeyPrefix": "string"
}

--simulation (string)

The name of the simulation.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
