DeleteJobExecution

Deletes a job execution.

Requires permission to access the DeleteJobExecution action.

Request Syntax


DELETE /things/thingName/jobs/jobId/executionNumber/executionNumber?force=force&namespaceId=namespaceId HTTP/1.1

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

executionNumber

The ID of the job execution to be deleted. The executionNumber refers to the execution of a particular job on a particular device.

Note that once a job execution is deleted, the executionNumber may be reused by IoT, so be sure you get and use the correct value here.

Required: Yes

force

(Optional) When true, you can delete a job execution which is "IN_PROGRESS". Otherwise, you can only delete a job execution which is in a terminal state ("SUCCEEDED", "FAILED", "REJECTED", "REMOVED" or "CANCELED") or an exception will occur. The default is false.

Note

Deleting a job execution which is "IN_PROGRESS", will cause the device to be unable to access job information or update the job execution status. Use caution and ensure that the device is able to recover to a valid state.

jobId

The ID of the job whose execution on a particular device will be deleted.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+

Required: Yes

namespaceId

The namespace used to indicate that a job is a customer-managed job.

When you specify a value for this parameter, AWS IoT Core sends jobs notifications to MQTT topics that contain the value in the following format.

$aws/things/THING_NAME/jobs/JOB_ID/notify-namespace-NAMESPACE_ID/

Note

The namespaceId feature is only supported by AWS IoT Greengrass at this time. For more information, see Setting up AWS IoT Greengrass core devices.

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+

thingName

The name of the thing whose job execution will be deleted.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9:_-]+
