IMPORTING

Optional arguments:

iv_sourceidentifier TYPE /AWS1/NEPSTRING /AWS1/NEPSTRING

The identifier of the event source for which events are returned. If not specified, then all sources are included in the response.

Constraints:

  • If SourceIdentifier is supplied, SourceType must also be provided.

  • If the source type is DBInstance, then a DBInstanceIdentifier must be supplied.

  • If the source type is DBSecurityGroup, a DBSecurityGroupName must be supplied.

  • If the source type is DBParameterGroup, a DBParameterGroupName must be supplied.

  • If the source type is DBSnapshot, a DBSnapshotIdentifier must be supplied.

  • Cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

iv_sourcetype TYPE /AWS1/NEPSOURCETYPE /AWS1/NEPSOURCETYPE

The event source to retrieve events for. If no value is specified, all events are returned.

iv_starttime TYPE /AWS1/NEPTSTAMP /AWS1/NEPTSTAMP

The beginning of the time interval to retrieve events for, specified in ISO 8601 format. For more information about ISO 8601, go to the ISO8601 Wikipedia page.

Example: 2009-07-08T18:00Z

iv_endtime TYPE /AWS1/NEPTSTAMP /AWS1/NEPTSTAMP

The end of the time interval for which to retrieve events, specified in ISO 8601 format. For more information about ISO 8601, go to the ISO8601 Wikipedia page.

Example: 2009-07-08T18:00Z

iv_duration TYPE /AWS1/NEPINTEGEROPTIONAL /AWS1/NEPINTEGEROPTIONAL

The number of minutes to retrieve events for.

Default: 60

it_eventcategories TYPE /AWS1/CL_NEPEVENTCATSLIST_W=>TT_EVENTCATEGORIESLIST TT_EVENTCATEGORIESLIST

A list of event categories that trigger notifications for a event notification subscription.

it_filters TYPE /AWS1/CL_NEPFILTER=>TT_FILTERLIST TT_FILTERLIST

This parameter is not currently supported.

iv_maxrecords TYPE /AWS1/NEPINTEGEROPTIONAL /AWS1/NEPINTEGEROPTIONAL

The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more records exist than the specified MaxRecords value, a pagination token called a marker is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved.

Default: 100

Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

iv_marker TYPE /AWS1/NEPSTRING /AWS1/NEPSTRING

An optional pagination token provided by a previous DescribeEvents request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords.

RETURNING

oo_output TYPE REF TO /aws1/cl_nepeventsmessage /AWS1/CL_NEPEVENTSMESSAGE

Syntax Example

This is an example of the syntax for calling the method. It includes every possible argument and initializes every possible value. The data provided is not necessarily semantically accurate (for example the value "string" may be provided for something that is intended to be an instance ID, or in some cases two arguments may be mutually exclusive). The syntax shows the ABAP syntax for creating the various data structures.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->describeevents(
  it_eventcategories = VALUE /aws1/cl_nepeventcatslist_w=>tt_eventcategorieslist(
    ( new /aws1/cl_nepeventcatslist_w( |string| ) )
  )
  it_filters = VALUE /aws1/cl_nepfilter=>tt_filterlist(
    (
      new /aws1/cl_nepfilter(
        it_values = VALUE /aws1/cl_nepfiltervaluelist_w=>tt_filtervaluelist(
          ( new /aws1/cl_nepfiltervaluelist_w( |string| ) )
        )
        iv_name = |string|
