IMPORTING

Required arguments:

iv_description TYPE /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMDESCRIPTION /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMDESCRIPTION

User-defined text that contains information about the OpsItem, in Markdown format.

Provide enough information so that users viewing this OpsItem for the first time understand the issue.

iv_source TYPE /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMSOURCE /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMSOURCE

The origin of the OpsItem, such as Amazon EC2 or Systems Manager.

The source name can't contain the following strings: aws, amazon, and amzn.

iv_title TYPE /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMTITLE /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMTITLE

A short heading that describes the nature of the OpsItem and the impacted resource.

Optional arguments:

iv_opsitemtype TYPE /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMTYPE /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMTYPE

The type of OpsItem to create. Systems Manager supports the following types of OpsItems:

  • /aws/issue

    This type of OpsItem is used for default OpsItems created by OpsCenter.

  • /aws/insight

    This type of OpsItem is used by OpsCenter for aggregating and reporting on duplicate OpsItems.

  • /aws/changerequest

    This type of OpsItem is used by Change Manager for reviewing and approving or rejecting change requests.

    Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Change Manager will no longer be open to new customers starting November 7, 2025. If you would like to use Change Manager, sign up prior to that date. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Change Manager availability change.

it_operationaldata TYPE /AWS1/CL_SSMOPSITEMDATAVALUE=>TT_OPSITEMOPERATIONALDATA TT_OPSITEMOPERATIONALDATA

Operational data is custom data that provides useful reference details about the OpsItem. For example, you can specify log files, error strings, license keys, troubleshooting tips, or other relevant data. You enter operational data as key-value pairs. The key has a maximum length of 128 characters. The value has a maximum size of 20 KB.

Operational data keys can't begin with the following: amazon, aws, amzn, ssm, /amazon, /aws, /amzn, /ssm.

You can choose to make the data searchable by other users in the account or you can restrict search access. Searchable data means that all users with access to the OpsItem Overview page (as provided by the DescribeOpsItems API operation) can view and search on the specified data. Operational data that isn't searchable is only viewable by users who have access to the OpsItem (as provided by the GetOpsItem API operation).

Use the /aws/resources key in OperationalData to specify a related resource in the request. Use the /aws/automations key in OperationalData to associate an Automation runbook with the OpsItem. To view Amazon Web Services CLI example commands that use these keys, see Create OpsItems manually in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

it_notifications TYPE /AWS1/CL_SSMOPSITEMNOTIF=>TT_OPSITEMNOTIFICATIONS TT_OPSITEMNOTIFICATIONS

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an SNS topic where notifications are sent when this OpsItem is edited or changed.

iv_priority TYPE /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMPRIORITY /AWS1/SSMOPSITEMPRIORITY

The importance of this OpsItem in relation to other OpsItems in the system.

it_relatedopsitems TYPE /AWS1/CL_SSMRELATEDOPSITEM=>TT_RELATEDOPSITEMS TT_RELATEDOPSITEMS

One or more OpsItems that share something in common with the current OpsItems. For example, related OpsItems can include OpsItems with similar error messages, impacted resources, or statuses for the impacted resource.

it_tags TYPE /AWS1/CL_SSMTAG=>TT_TAGLIST TT_TAGLIST

Optional metadata that you assign to a resource.

Tags use a key-value pair. For example:

Key=Department,Value=Finance

To add tags to a new OpsItem, a user must have IAM permissions for both the ssm:CreateOpsItems operation and the ssm:AddTagsToResource operation. To add tags to an existing OpsItem, use the AddTagsToResource operation.

The time a runbook workflow started. Currently reported only for the OpsItem type /aws/changerequest.

iv_actualendtime TYPE /AWS1/SSMDATETIME /AWS1/SSMDATETIME

The time a runbook workflow ended. Currently reported only for the OpsItem type /aws/changerequest.

iv_plannedstarttime TYPE /AWS1/SSMDATETIME /AWS1/SSMDATETIME

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->createopsitem(
  it_notifications = VALUE /aws1/cl_ssmopsitemnotif=>tt_opsitemnotifications(
    ( new /aws1/cl_ssmopsitemnotif( |string| ) )

          iv_type = |string|
          iv_value = |string|
