Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IV_S3BUCKETARN TYPE /AWS1/DSYS3BUCKETARN /AWS1/DSYS3BUCKETARN

Specifies the ARN of the S3 bucket that you want to use as a location. (When creating your DataSync task later, you specify whether this location is a transfer source or destination.)

If your S3 bucket is located on an Outposts resource, you must specify an Amazon S3 access point. For more information, see Managing data access with Amazon S3 access points in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

IO_S3CONFIG TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_DSYS3CONFIG /AWS1/CL_DSYS3CONFIG

S3Config

Optional arguments:

IV_SUBDIRECTORY TYPE /AWS1/DSYS3SUBDIRECTORY /AWS1/DSYS3SUBDIRECTORY

Specifies a prefix in the S3 bucket that DataSync reads from or writes to (depending on whether the bucket is a source or destination location).

DataSync can't transfer objects with a prefix that begins with a slash (/) or includes //, /./, or /../ patterns. For example:

  • /photos

  • photos//2006/January

  • photos/./2006/February

  • photos/../2006/March

IV_S3STORAGECLASS TYPE /AWS1/DSYS3STORAGECLASS /AWS1/DSYS3STORAGECLASS

Specifies the storage class that you want your objects to use when Amazon S3 is a transfer destination.

For buckets in Amazon Web Services Regions, the storage class defaults to STANDARD. For buckets on Outposts, the storage class defaults to OUTPOSTS.

For more information, see Storage class considerations with Amazon S3 transfers.

IT_AGENTARNS TYPE /AWS1/CL_DSYAGENTARNLIST_W=>TT_AGENTARNLIST TT_AGENTARNLIST

(Amazon S3 on Outposts only) Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DataSync agent on your Outpost.

For more information, see Deploy your DataSync agent on Outposts.

IT_TAGS TYPE /AWS1/CL_DSYTAGLISTENTRY=>TT_INPUTTAGLIST TT_INPUTTAGLIST

Specifies labels that help you categorize, filter, and search for your Amazon Web Services resources. We recommend creating at least a name tag for your transfer location.
