View file File name : register-workflow-type.rst Content :Registering a Workflow Type --------------------------- To register a Workflow type with the AWS CLI, use the ``swf register-workflow-type`` command:: aws swf register-workflow-type --domain DataFrobtzz --name "MySimpleWorkflow" --workflow-version "v1" If successful, the command returns no result. On an error (for example, if you try to register the same workflow type twice, or specify a domain that doesn't exist) you will get a response in JSON:: { "message": "WorkflowType=[name=MySimpleWorkflow, version=v1]", "__type": "com.amazonaws.swf.base.model#TypeAlreadyExistsFault" } The ``--domain``, ``--name`` and ``--workflow-version`` are required. You can also set the workflow description, timeouts, and child workflow policy.
