Cloud Parallel File Storage:CreateDataFlowSubTask

Last Updated:Aug 26, 2026

Creates a subtask for a data flow streaming task.

Operation description

Before you begin

Before you call this operation, create resources in the following order and make sure that the resources at each level are in the required state:

  1. Create a file system: Create a CPFS for Lingjun file system in the console.
    • State requirement: The file system is in the Running state.

  2. Create a data flow: Call CreateDataFlow to create a data flow.
    • State requirement: The data flow is in the Running state.

  3. Create a data flow task: Call CreateDataFlowTask to create a streaming import (StreamImport) or streaming export (StreamExport) task.
    • State requirement: The data flow task is in the Executing state.

Operation description

  • Only CPFS for Lingjun 2.6.0 and later support this operation. You can view the version information on the file system details page in the console.

  • You can create subtasks only for data flow streaming tasks that are in the Executing state.

  • Data flow streaming tasks are executed asynchronously. You can call DescribeDataFlowSubTasks to query the execution status of a streaming task.

  • When the data flow task type is a streaming task, the Executing state only indicates that you can create streaming import or streaming export tasks. It does not indicate that the import or export task is running.

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

FileSystemId

string

Yes

The file system ID.

bmcpfs-370lx1ev9ss27o0****

DataFlowId

string

Yes

The data flow ID.

df-194433a5be31****

DataFlowTaskId

string

Yes

The data flow task ID.

Note

Only data flow streaming task IDs are supported.

task-38aa8e890f45****

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform a dry run for this request.

A dry run checks parameter validity and resource availability without actually creating an instance or incurring fees.

Valid values:

  • true: Sends a check request without creating the data flow. The check items include whether required parameters are specified, the request format, and business limit dependencies. If the check fails, the corresponding error is returned. If the check passes, HTTP status code 200 is returned, but DataFlowSubTaskId is empty.

  • false (default): Sends a normal request. After the check passes, the instance is directly created.

false

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the token, but make sure that the token is unique among different requests.

The token can contain only ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see How to ensure idempotence.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the RequestId of the API request as the ClientToken. The RequestId may vary for each API request.
