/AWS1/IF_S3=>GETBUCKETLOCATION()

About GetBucketLocation

Using the GetBucketLocation operation is no longer a best practice. To return the Region that a bucket resides in, we recommend that you use the HeadBucket operation instead. For backward compatibility, Amazon S3 continues to support the GetBucketLocation operation.

Returns the Region the bucket resides in. You set the bucket's Region using the LocationConstraint request parameter in a CreateBucket request. For more information, see CreateBucket.

In a bucket's home Region, calls to the GetBucketLocation operation are governed by the bucket's policy. In other Regions, the bucket policy doesn't apply, which means that cross-account access won't be authorized. However, calls to the HeadBucket operation always return the bucket’s location through an HTTP response header, whether access to the bucket is authorized or not. Therefore, we recommend using the HeadBucket operation for bucket Region discovery and to avoid using the GetBucketLocation operation.

When you use this API operation with an access point, provide the alias of the access point in place of the bucket name.

When you use this API operation with an Object Lambda access point, provide the alias of the Object Lambda access point in place of the bucket name. If the Object Lambda access point alias in a request is not valid, the error code InvalidAccessPointAliasError is returned. For more information about InvalidAccessPointAliasError, see List of Error Codes.

This operation is not supported for directory buckets.

The following operations are related to GetBucketLocation:

You must URL encode any signed header values that contain spaces. For example, if your header value is my file.txt, containing two spaces after my, you must URL encode this value to my%20%20file.txt.

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

iv_bucket TYPE /AWS1/S3_BUCKETNAME /AWS1/S3_BUCKETNAME

The name of the bucket for which to get the location.

When you use this API operation with an access point, provide the alias of the access point in place of the bucket name.

When you use this API operation with an Object Lambda access point, provide the alias of the Object Lambda access point in place of the bucket name. If the Object Lambda access point alias in a request is not valid, the error code InvalidAccessPointAliasError is returned. For more information about InvalidAccessPointAliasError, see List of Error Codes.

Optional arguments:

iv_expectedbucketowner TYPE /AWS1/S3_ACCOUNTID /AWS1/S3_ACCOUNTID

The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the account ID that you provide does not match the actual owner of the bucket, the request fails with the HTTP status code 403 Forbidden (access denied).

RETURNING

oo_output TYPE REF TO /aws1/cl_s3_getbucketlocoutput /AWS1/CL_S3_GETBUCKETLOCOUTPUT

Domain /AWS1/RT_ACCOUNT_ID
Primitive Type NUMC

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->getbucketlocation(
  iv_bucket = |string|
  iv_expectedbucketowner = |string|
).

This is an example of reading all possible response values

lo_result = lo_result.
IF lo_result IS NOT INITIAL.
  lv_bucketlocationconstrain = lo_result->get_locationconstraint( ).
ENDIF.

To get bucket location

The following example returns bucket location.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->getbucketlocation( iv_bucket = |examplebucket| ) .
