Listing the Contents of an AWS S3 Bucket

You can use the Redwood_AWS_S3_ListBucket Process Definition to query a particular AWS S3 bucket, optionally with a key prefix. This Process Definition returns the contents of the bucket in RTX format, so that you can use it in a Chain Definition.

To list the contents of an AWS S3 bucket:

  1. In the AWS > S3 Application, submit the Redwood_AWS_S3_ListBucket Process Definition.

  2. Choose the Connection.

  3. Choose the Region the bucket is in.

  4. Enter the Bucket Name.

  5. To list bucket contents recursively, enter Y in the Recursive field. Otherwise, enter N.

    Note: If you set this to Y and provide a Key Prefix, it must be the full key prefix of a folder object. If it is not a valid folder key prefix, nothing will be listed.

  6. If you want to list only objects that have a particular key prefix, enter it in the Key Prefix field.

  7. To filter the response, enter a filter string in the Object Name Filter field. Wildcards * and ? are supported.

  8. Submit the Process Definition.

  9. In the Process Monitor, select the process, then look at the Detail View. Under Files, the listing.rtx file contains the response (if any).

Copying Objects in AWS S3

You can copy objects both within buckets and to other buckets. You can even copy objects to a bucket in a different region.

To copy objects in S3:

  1. In the AWS > S3 Application, submit the Redwood_AWS_S3_CopyObject Process Definition.

  2. In the Parameters tab, identify the object or objects you want to copy.

    • Choose the Connection.

    • Choose the Bucket Region the bucket is in.

    • Enter the Bucket Name.

    • To copy objects recursively, enter Y in the Recursive field. Otherwise, enter N.

      Note: If you set this to Y and provide an Origin Key Prefix, it must be the full key prefix of a folder object. If it is not a valid folder key prefix, nothing will be copied.

    • If the object or objects you want to copy have a key prefix, enter it in the Origin Key Prefix field. If the object or objects you want to copy are at the root level of the bucket, leave this field blank.

    • To indicate the name of the file or files to be copied, enter a name in the Object Name field. The wildcard character * is supported.

      Note: If you use wildcard characters, all objects in the specified Origin Key Prefix (if you supply one) that match the pattern will be copied.

  3. In the Destination tab, indicate where you want the copied object or objects to be put.

    • If you want to copy the objects to a different region, choose the Destination Bucket Region to use. If not, leave this field blank, and the objects will be copied to the region identified in the Parameters tab.

    • If you want to copy the objects to a different bucket, enter the Destination Bucket Name to use. If not, leave this field blank, and the objects will be copied to the bucket identified in the Parameters tab.

    • If you want the copied objects to have a particular key prefix, enter it in the Destination Key Prefix field.

    • If you are copying a single object (in other words, if you have not used any wildcard characters in the Object Name field in the Parameters tab), you can set the name of the copied object by entering a name in the Destination Object Name field. If you leave this field blank, the original object name is kept.

    • To delete the source object after it has been successfully copied, enter Y in the Delete Source Object field. Otherwise, enter N.

  4. Submit the Process Definition.

Moving Objects in AWS S3

In AWS S3, there is currently no "move" operation. However, you can move an object by calling the Redwood_AWS_S3_CopyObject Process Definition and checking Delete Source Object.

Note: Because this is not an atomic operation, you could conceivably copy an object without deleting the original.

Deleting Objects in AWS S3

To delete an object or objects in AWS S3:

  1. In the AWS > S3 Application, submit the Redwood_AWS_S3_DeleteObject Process Definition.

  2. In the Parameters tab, identify the object or objects you want to delete.

    • Choose the Connection.
    • Choose the Region the object or objects are in.
    • Enter the Bucket Name.

    • To delete objects recursively, enter Y in the Recursive field. Otherwise, enter N.

      Note: If you set this to Y and provide a Key Prefix, it must be the full key prefix of a folder object. If it is not a valid folder key prefix, nothing will be deleted.

    • If the object or objects you want to delete have a key prefix, enter it in the Key Prefix field. If the object or objects you want to delete are at the root level of the bucket, leave this field blank.

    • To indicate the name of the file or files to be deleted, enter a name in the Object Name field. The wildcard character * is supported.

      Note: If you use wildcard characters, all objects in the specified Key Prefix (if you supply one) that match the pattern will be deleted.

  3. Submit the Process Definition.

Downloading Objects from AWS S3

To download an object or objects from AWS S3:

  1. In the AWS > S3 Application, submit the Redwood_AWS_S3_DownloadFile Process Definition.

  2. In the Parameters tab, identify the object or objects you want to download.

    • Choose the Connection.
    • Choose the Region the object or objects are in.
    • Enter the Bucket Name.
    • If the object or objects you want to download have a key prefix, enter it in the Key Prefix field. If the object or objects you want to download are at the root level of the bucket, leave this field blank.

    • To indicate the name of the file or files to be downloaded, enter a name in the Object Name field. The wildcard character * is supported.

      Note: If you use wildcard characters, all objects in the specified Key Prefix (if you supply one) that match the pattern will be downloaded.

  3. Submit the Process Definition.

  4. In the Process Monitor, select the process, then look at the Detail View under Files.

    • If you download a single file, it is attached to the process in its original format.

    • If you download more than one file, they are attached to the process as a zip file.

Note: If download fails, the Redwood_AWS_S3_DownloadFile goes into Error status.

Uploading a File to AWS S3

To upload a file to AWS S3, either directly from the file system or with a Chain Definition:

  1. In the AWS > S3 Application, submit the Redwood_AWS_S3_UploadFile Process Definition.

  2. In the Parameters tab, identify the file you want to upload and indicate where it should be uploaded.

    • Choose the Connection.
    • Choose the Region the file should be uploaded to.
    • Enter the Bucket Name.

    • In the File to Upload field, click Upload and select the file to upload.

      Note: RunMyJobs will attempt to guess the Content-Type for upload based on the file suffix. However, you can override this manually with the Content Type field in the System Metadata tab.

    • If you want to upload the file with a particular key prefix, enter it in the Key Prefix field.

    • To set the name of the uploaded file in AWS S3, enter a name in the Updated File Name field. The wildcard character * is supported.

    • To specify user-defined AWS S3 metadata for the uploaded file, enter key-value pairs in the Metadata field, where the key is the name for each entry.

      Note: Key names must be prefixed with x-amz-meta-. If you do not supply this prefix, RunMyJobs will add it automatically.

  3. In the System Metadata tab, enter any AWS S3 system metadata you want applied to the uploaded file.

    • In the Server Side Encryption field, enter the encryption settings for the uploaded file. If you enter SSE-KMS or DSSE-KMS, use the KMS Key ARN field to supply the ARN of the key to use for encryption.

    • In the KMS Key ARN field, optionally enter the ARN to use for server-side encryption.

    • In the Storage Class field, enter the AWS S3 storage class to be used for the uploaded file.
