Parameters:

• ScheduledTime (datetime) –

  The date and time specified in the change request to run the Automation runbooks.

  Note

  The Automation runbooks specified for the runbook workflow can’t run until all required approvals for the change request have been received.

• DocumentName (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The name of the change template document to run during the runbook workflow.

• DocumentVersion (string) – The version of the change template document to run during the runbook workflow.

• Parameters (dict) –

  A key-value map of parameters that match the declared parameters in the change template document.

  • (string) –

    • (list) –

      • (string) –

• ChangeRequestName (string) – The name of the change request associated with the runbook workflow to be run.

• ClientToken (string) – The user-provided idempotency token. The token must be unique, is case insensitive, enforces the UUID format, and can’t be reused.

• AutoApprove (boolean) –

  Indicates whether the change request can be approved automatically without the need for manual approvals.

  If AutoApprovable is enabled in a change template, then setting AutoApprove to true in StartChangeRequestExecution creates a change request that bypasses approver review.

  Note

  Change Calendar restrictions are not bypassed in this scenario. If the state of an associated calendar is CLOSED, change freeze approvers must still grant permission for this change request to run. If they don’t, the change won’t be processed until the calendar state is again OPEN.

• Runbooks (list) –

  [REQUIRED]

  Information about the Automation runbooks that are run during the runbook workflow.

  Note

  The Automation runbooks specified for the runbook workflow can’t run until all required approvals for the change request have been received.

  • (dict) –

    Information about an Automation runbook used in a runbook workflow in Change Manager.

    Note

    The Automation runbooks specified for the runbook workflow can’t run until all required approvals for the change request have been received.

    • DocumentName (string) – [REQUIRED]

      The name of the Automation runbook used in a runbook workflow.

    • DocumentVersion (string) –

      The version of the Automation runbook used in a runbook workflow.

    • Parameters (dict) –

      The key-value map of execution parameters, which were supplied when calling StartChangeRequestExecution.

      • (string) –

        • (list) –

          • (string) –

    • TargetParameterName (string) –

      The name of the parameter used as the target resource for the rate-controlled runbook workflow. Required if you specify Targets.

    • Targets (list) –

      A key-value mapping to target resources that the runbook operation performs tasks on. Required if you specify TargetParameterName.

      • (dict) –

        An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a key-value pair that you specify.

        Note

        One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that don’t specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

                The name of your CloudWatch alarm.

• Tags (list) –

  Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. You can specify a maximum of five tags for a change request.
