/AWS1/IF_SFN=>TESTSTATE()

About TestState

Accepts the definition of a single state and executes it. You can test a state without creating a state machine or updating an existing state machine. Using this API, you can test the following:

You can call this API on only one state at a time. The states that you can test include the following:

The TestState API assumes an IAM role which must contain the required IAM permissions for the resources your state is accessing. For information about the permissions a state might need, see IAM permissions to test a state.

The TestState API can run for up to five minutes. If the execution of a state exceeds this duration, it fails with the States.Timeout error.

TestState doesn't support Activity tasks, .sync or .waitForTaskToken service integration patterns, Parallel, or Map states.

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

iv_definition TYPE /AWS1/SFNDEFINITION /AWS1/SFNDEFINITION

The Amazon States Language (ASL) definition of the state.

Optional arguments:

iv_rolearn TYPE /AWS1/SFNARN /AWS1/SFNARN

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution role with the required IAM permissions for the state.

iv_input TYPE /AWS1/SFNSENSITIVEDATA /AWS1/SFNSENSITIVEDATA

A string that contains the JSON input data for the state.

iv_inspectionlevel TYPE /AWS1/SFNINSPECTIONLEVEL /AWS1/SFNINSPECTIONLEVEL

Determines the values to return when a state is tested. You can specify one of the following types:

  • INFO: Shows the final state output. By default, Step Functions sets inspectionLevel to INFO if you don't specify a level.

  • DEBUG: Shows the final state output along with the input and output data processing result.

  • TRACE: Shows the HTTP request and response for an HTTP Task. This level also shows the final state output along with the input and output data processing result.

Each of these levels also provide information about the status of the state execution and the next state to transition to.

iv_revealsecrets TYPE /AWS1/SFNREVEALSECRETS /AWS1/SFNREVEALSECRETS

Specifies whether or not to include secret information in the test result. For HTTP Tasks, a secret includes the data that an EventBridge connection adds to modify the HTTP request headers, query parameters, and body. Step Functions doesn't omit any information included in the state definition or the HTTP response.

If you set revealSecrets to true, you must make sure that the IAM user that calls the TestState API has permission for the states:RevealSecrets action. For an example of IAM policy that sets the states:RevealSecrets permission, see IAM permissions to test a state. Without this permission, Step Functions throws an access denied error.

By default, revealSecrets is set to false.

iv_variables TYPE /AWS1/SFNSENSITIVEDATA /AWS1/SFNSENSITIVEDATA

JSON object literal that sets variables used in the state under test. Object keys are the variable names and values are the variable values.

RETURNING

oo_output TYPE REF TO /aws1/cl_sfnteststateoutput /AWS1/CL_SFNTESTSTATEOUTPUT

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->teststate(
  iv_definition = |string|
  iv_input = |string|
  iv_inspectionlevel = |string|
  iv_revealsecrets = ABAP_TRUE
  iv_rolearn = |string|
  iv_variables = |string|
).

This is an example of reading all possible response values
