Start a pipeline manually

Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the CodePipeline console at http://console.www.amazonaws.cn/codesuite/codepipeline/home.

In Name, choose the name of the pipeline you want to start.

On the pipeline details page, choose Release change. If the pipeline is configured to pass parameters (pipeline variables), then choosing Release change opens the Release change window. In Pipeline variables, in the field or fields for the variables at the pipeline level, enter the value or values you want to pass for this pipeline execution. For more information, see Variables.

This starts the most recent revision available in each source location specified in a source action through the pipeline.

Open a terminal (Linux, OS X, or Unix) or command prompt (Windows) and use the Amazon CLI to run the start-pipeline-execution command, specifying the name of the pipeline you want to start. For example, to start running the last change through a pipeline named MyFirstPipeline:

aws codepipeline start-pipeline-execution --name MyFirstPipeline

To start a pipeline where variables are configured at the pipeline level, use the start-pipeline-execution command with the optional --variables argument to start the pipeline and add the variables that will be used in the execution. For example, to add a variable var1 with a value of 1, use the following command:

aws codepipeline start-pipeline-execution --name MyFirstPipeline --variables name=var1,value=1 

To verify success, view the returned object. This command returns an execution ID, similar to the following:

{
    "pipelineExecutionId": "c53dbd42-This-Is-An-Example"
}
