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

DBClusterId

string

Yes

The cluster ID.

Note

You can call the DescribeDBClusters operation to query information about all clusters in the specified region, including cluster IDs.

pc-**************

Parameters

string

No

A JSON string that consists of parameters and their values. Parameter values are of the STRING type. Example: {"wait_timeout":"86","innodb_old_blocks_time":"10"}.

Note
  • You can call the DescribeDBClusterParameters operation to query the parameters of a PolarDB cluster.

  • If the cluster runs PolarDB for PostgreSQL or PolarDB for PostgreSQL (Compatible with Oracle), this parameter is required.

  • If the cluster runs PolarDB for MySQL, you must specify either this parameter or the ParameterGroupId parameter.

{"wait_timeout":"86","innodb_old_blocks_time":"10"}

ParameterGroupId

string

No

The parameter template ID.

Note
  • You can call the DescribeParameterGroups operation to query the parameter template ID.

  • You must specify either this parameter or the Parameters parameter.

  • Only PolarDB for MySQL supports this parameter.

pcpg-**************

PlannedStartTime

string

No

The earliest time to start running the scheduled task within the specified time range. The time is in the YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ format (UTC).

Note
  • The start time must be within the next 24 hours. For example, if the current time is 2021-01-14T09:00:00Z, the start time can range from 2021-01-14T09:00:00Z to 2021-01-15T09:00:00Z.

  • If this parameter is left empty, the task is immediately executed.

2022-04-28T14:00:00Z

PlannedEndTime

string

No

The latest time to start running the scheduled task. The time is in the YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ format (UTC).

Note
  • The latest time must be at least 30 minutes later than the start time.

  • If you specify PlannedStartTime but do not specify this parameter, the latest time defaults to start time + 30 minutes. For example, if PlannedStartTime is set to 2021-01-14T09:00:00Z and this parameter is left empty, the task starts no later than 2021-01-14T09:30:00Z.

boolean

No

Specifies whether to immediately or schedule the parameter modification and cluster restart. Valid values:

  • false (default): Scheduled execution.

  • true: Immediate execution.

false

ClearBinlog

boolean
