Create a Batch Replication job for a first replication rule or new destination

When you create the first rule in a new replication configuration or add a new destination to an existing configuration through the Amazon Web Services Management Console, you can optionally create a Batch Replication job.

To use Batch Replication for an existing configuration without adding a new destination see, Create a Batch Replication job for existing replication rules.

Using Batch Replication for a new replication rule or destination through the Amazon Web Services Management Console

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/s3/.

  2. In the Buckets list, choose the name of the bucket that contains the objects that you want to replicate.

  3. To create a new replication rule or edit an existing rule, choose Management, and scroll down to Replication rules:

    • To create a new replication rule, choose Create replication rule.

      Note

      For examples on how to set up a basic replication rule see, Walkthroughs: Examples for configuring replication.

    • To edit an existing replication rule, select the rule, and then choose Edit rule.

  4. Create your new replication rule or edit the destination for your existing replication rule, and choose Save.

    After you create the first rule in a new replication configuration or edit an existing configuration to add a new destination, a Replicate existing objects? dialog appears, giving you the option to create a Batch Replication job.

  5. If you want to run this job now, choose Yes, replicate existing objects.

    If you want to run this job at a later time, choose No, do not replicate existing objects.

  6. Create your S3 Batch Replication job. The S3 Batch Replication job has several settings:

    Job run option

    If you want the S3 Batch Replication job to run immediately, you can choose Job runs automatically when ready. If you want to run the job at a later time, choose Job waits to be run when ready.

    If you choose Job runs automatically when ready, you will not be able to create and save a Batch Operations manifest. To save the Batch Operations manifest, choose Job waits to be run when ready.

    Batch Operations manifest

    The manifest is a list of all of the objects that you want to run the specified action on. You can choose to save the Batch Operations manifest. Similar to S3 Inventory files, the manifest will be saved as a CSV file and stored in a bucket. To learn more about Batch Operations manifests, see Specifying a manifest.

    Completion report

    S3 Batch Operations execute one task for each object specified in the manifest. Completion reports provide an easy way to view the results of your tasks in a consolidated format with no additional setup required. You can request a completion report for all tasks or only for failed tasks. To learn more about completion reports, see Completion reports.

    Permissions

    One of the most common causes of replication failures is insufficient permissions in the provided Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. For information about creating this role see, Configuring IAM policies for Batch Replication.

  7. Choose Create Batch Operations job.
