Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

ElasticPlanName

string

Yes

The name of the scaling plan.

Note

The name must be 2 to 30 characters in length and can contain letters, digits, and underscores (_). The name must start with a letter.

test

ResourceGroupName

string

No

The name of the resource group.

Note
  • Required if the scaling plan uses interactive resource groups. Not required if the scaling plan uses elastic I/O units (EIUs).

  • You can call the DescribeDBResourceGroup operation to query the resource group name for a cluster.

test

StartTime

string

No

The start time of the scaling plan.

Note

Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC.

2022-01-01T12:01:00Z

EndTime

string

No

The end time of the scaling plan.

Note

Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC.

2025-01-01T12:01:00Z

Enabled

boolean

Yes

Whether to enable the scaling plan immediately after it is created. Valid values:

  • true

  • false

true

CronExpression

string

No

A CRON expression that specifies the scaling cycle and time for the scaling plan.

0 20 14 * * ?

TargetSize

string

No

The desired specifications of elastic resources after scaling.

Note
  • Not required if the scaling plan uses EIUs with Default Proportional Scaling for EIUs enabled. Required in all other cases.

  • You can call the DescribeElasticPlanSpecifications operation to query the specifications that are supported for scaling plans.

32ACU

Type

string

Yes

The type of the scaling plan. Valid values:

  • EXECUTOR: the interactive resource group type, which indicates the computing resource type.

  • WORKER: the EIU type.

EXECUTOR

AutoScale

boolean

No

Whether to enable Default Proportional Scaling for EIUs. Valid values:

  • true. In this case, storage resources are scaled along with computing resources, and the TargetSize and CronExpression parameters are not supported.

  • false

Note
  • Required when Type is set to WORKER. Not required when Type is set to EXECUTOR.

  • You can enable Default Proportional Scaling for EIUs for only a single scaling plan of a cluster.

false

DBClusterId

string

Yes

The cluster ID.

Note

You can call the DescribeDBClusters operation to query the IDs of all AnalyticDB for MySQL clusters within a region.

Error message

Description

400 ACS.ElasticPlan.InvalidEndTime The end time should be later than current time. The end time of scheduled scaling must be later than the current time.
400 ACS.ElasticPlan.NameAlreadyExists The name already exists. A scaling plan with the same name exists.
400 ACS.ElasticPlan.WorkerNotFound Worker not found. The cluster cannot have storage scaling plans configured because it does not have reserved storage resources.
400 ACS.ElasticPlan.AutoWorkerPlanExists Failed to enable the elastic plan. The instance already has an active elastic plan. Failed to enable the storage scaling plan because the cluster has another storage scaling plan enabled.
400 ACS.ElasticPlan.WorkerPlanExists Failed to enable the elastic plan. At least one active elastic plan already exists. Failed to enable the storage scaling plan because another storage scaling plan has been enabled.
400 ACS.ElasticPlan.InvalidStartTimeInterval The start time of this elastic plan is too closed to another one. The effective time of the scaling plan is close to that of another scaling plan.
400 ACS.ElasticPlan.InvalidTodayPlan Failed to enable this elastic plan. Today's schedule time is missed and you should prepare at least %s minutes for us to prepare resource.
400 ACS.ElasticPlan.InvalidTargetSize Invalid target size.
400 ACS.ElasticPlan.InvalidStartTime Invalid start time.
404 InvalidDBCluster.NotFound The DBClusterId provided does not exist in our records. The specified DBClusterId parameter does not exist. Make sure that the DBClusterId value is valid.
