cancel_message_move_task#

SQS.Client.cancel_message_move_task(**kwargs)#

Cancels a specified message movement task. A message movement can only be cancelled when the current status is RUNNING. Cancelling a message movement task does not revert the messages that have already been moved. It can only stop the messages that have not been moved yet.

Note

  • This action is currently limited to supporting message redrive from dead-letter queues (DLQs) only. In this context, the source queue is the dead-letter queue (DLQ), while the destination queue can be the original source queue (from which the messages were driven to the dead-letter-queue), or a custom destination queue.

  • Currently, only standard queues are supported.

  • Only one active message movement task is supported per queue at any given time.
