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.

The ID of the task flow. You can obtain this parameter by calling the ListTaskFlow or ListLhTaskFlowAndScenario operation.

15***

StartNodeIds

array

No

The list of start node IDs for data backfill.

Note

If this parameter is not specified, the entire task flow is run.

integer

No

The number of task nodes to backfill data for.

2

FilterNodeIds

array

No

The filter condition. Specifies the list of node IDs in the task flow that do not require data backfill.

integer

No

The ID of a node in the task flow that does not require data backfill.

12***

boolean

No

Specifies whether to run downstream nodes. Default value: true.

true

BackFillDate

string

No

The business time for data backfill. This parameter is required when you backfill data for a specified date.

2022-01-14

BackFillDateBegin

string

No

The start business time for data backfill. This parameter is required when you backfill data for a specified date range.

2022-01-14

BackFillDateEnd

string

No

The end business time for data backfill. This parameter is required when you backfill data for a specified date range.
