OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters


Parameter	Type	Required	Example	Description
Action	String	Yes	CreateChangeSet	The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to CreateChangeSet.
ChangeSetName	String	Yes	MyChangeSet	The name of the change set. The name must be unique among all change sets associated with a specified stack. The change set name can be up to 255 characters in length and can contain digits, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). It must start with a digit or letter.
Parameters.N.ParameterKey	String	Yes	Amount	The name of parameter N. If the name and value of the parameter are not specified, the name and value specified in the template are used. Maximum value of N: 200.
Parameters.N.ParameterValue	String	Yes	12	The value of parameter N. Maximum value of N: 200.
RegionId	String	Yes	cn-hangzhou	The region ID of the change set. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.
StackId	String	No	4a6c9851-3b0f-4f5f-b4ca-a14bf691****	The ID of the stack for which the change set is created. ROS generates the change set by comparing the stack information with the information that you submit, such as a modified template or different input parameter values. This parameter takes effect and is required only when the ChangeSetType parameter is set to UPDATE.
StackPolicyURL	String	No	oss://ros/stack-policy/demo	The URL for the file that contains the stack policy. The stack policy can be up to 16,384 bytes in length. The URL must point to a policy located in an HTTP or HTTPS web server or an Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket. Examples: oss://ros/stack-policy/demo and oss://ros/stack-policy/demo?RegionId=cn-hangzhou. If the region of the OSS bucket is not specified, the RegionId parameter value is used by default. You can specify either the StackPolicyBody parameter or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but you cannot specify both of them. The URL can be up to 1,350 bytes in length. When the ChangeSetType parameter is set to CREATE, you can specify either the StackPolicyBody parameter or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but you cannot specify both of them. When the ChangeSetType parameter is set to UPDATE, you can specify only one of the following parameters: StackPolicyBody StackPolicyURL StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody StackPolicyDuringUpdateURL
StackPolicyBody	String	No	{"Statement":[{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"Update:","Principal":"","Resource":"*"}]}	The structure that contains the stack policy body. The stack policy body must be 1 to 16,384 bytes in length. When the ChangeSetType parameter is set to CREATE, you can specify either the StackPolicyBody parameter or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but you cannot specify both of them. When the ChangeSetType parameter is set to UPDATE, you can specify only one of the following parameters: StackPolicyBody StackPolicyURL StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody StackPolicyDuringUpdateURL
StackName	String	No	MyStack	The name of the stack for which you want to create the change set. The name can be up to 255 characters in length and can contain digits, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). It must start with a digit or letter. This parameter takes effect and is required only when the ChangeSetType parameter is set to CREATE.
UsePreviousParameters	Boolean	No	true	Specifies whether to use the values that were passed last time for the parameters that you do not specify in the current request. This parameter takes effect only when the ChangeSetType parameter is set to UPDATE. Valid values: true false Default value: false.
ChangeSetType	String	No	UPDATE	The type of the change set. If you create a change set for a new stack, ROS creates a stack with a unique stack ID. The stack is in the REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS state until you execute the change set. You cannot use the UPDATE type to create a change set for a new stack or the CREATE type to create a change set for an existing stack. Valid values: CREATE: creates a change set for a new stack. UPDATE: creates a change set for an existing stack. Default value: UPDATE.
Description	String	No	It is a demo.	The description of the change set. The description can be up to 1,024 bytes in length.
ClientToken	String	No	123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000	The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the value, but you must ensure that it is unique among different requests. The token can only contain ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see How to ensure idempotence.
TemplateURL	String	No	oss://ros/template/demo	The URL for the file that contains the template. The template can be up to 524,288 bytes in length. The URL must point to a template located in an HTTP or HTTPS web server or an Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket. Examples: oss://ros/template/demo and oss://ros/template/demo?RegionId=cn-hangzhou. If the region of the OSS bucket is not specified, the RegionId parameter value is used by default.

StackPolicyDuringUpdateURL	String	No	oss://ros/stack-policy/demo	The URL for the file that contains the temporary overriding stack policy. The stack policy can be up to 16,384 bytes in length. The URL must point to a policy located in an HTTP or HTTPS web server or an Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket. Examples: oss://ros/stack-policy/demo and oss://ros/stack-policy/demo?RegionId=cn-hangzhou. If the region of the OSS bucket is not specified, the RegionId parameter value is used by default. The URL can be up to 1,350 bytes in length. To update protected resources, specify a temporary overriding stack policy to take effect during the update. If no stack policy is specified for this parameter, the current policy associated with the stack is used. This parameter takes effect only when the ChangeSetType parameter is set to UPDATE. You can specify only one of the following parameters: StackPolicyBody StackPolicyURL StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody StackPolicyDuringUpdateURL
TemplateBody	String	No	{"ROSTemplateFormatVersion":"2015-09-01"}	The structure that contains the template body. The template body must be 1 to 524,288 bytes in length. If the length of the template body is longer than required, we recommend that you add parameters to the HTTP POST request body to avoid request failures due to excessive length of URLs. You must specify either the TemplateBody parameter or the TemplateURL parameter, but you cannot specify both of them.
TimeoutInMinutes	Long	No	12	The amount of time that can elapse before the stack status changes to CREATE_FAILED or UPDATE_FAILED. When the ChangeSetType parameter is set to CREATE, this parameter is required. When the ChangeSetType parameter is set to UPDATE, this parameter is optional. Unit: minutes. Valid values: 10 to 1440. Default value: 60.
DisableRollback	Boolean	No	false	This parameter takes effect only when the ChangeSetType parameter is set to CREATE. Valid values: true false Default value: false. If this parameter is set to true, the stack is not rolled back and deleted upon the stack creation failure.
StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody	String	No	{"Statement":[{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"Update:","Principal":"","Resource":"*"}]}	The structure that contains the body of the temporary overriding stack policy. The stack policy body must be 1 to 16,384 bytes in length. To update protected resources, specify a temporary overriding stack policy to take effect during the update. If no stack policy is specified for this parameter, the current policy associated with the stack is used. This parameter takes effect only when the ChangeSetType parameter is set to UPDATE. You can specify only one of the following parameters: StackPolicyBody StackPolicyURL StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody StackPolicyDuringUpdateURL
NotificationURLs.N	RepeatList	No	http://my-site.com/ros-notify	The callback URL for receiving stack event N. Only the HTTP POST method is supported. Maximum value of N: 5. Each URL can be up to 1,024 bytes in length.
