Parameters:

  • applicationId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The unique identifier of the application for which you want to import data sets.

  • clientToken (string) –

    Unique, case-sensitive identifier you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request to create a data set import. The service generates the clientToken when the API call is triggered. The token expires after one hour, so if you retry the API within this timeframe with the same clientToken, you will get the same response. The service also handles deleting the clientToken after it expires.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

  • importConfig (dict) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The data set import task configuration.

    Note

    This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: dataSets, s3Location.

              • format (string) – [REQUIRED]

                The format of the data set records.

            • vsam (dict) –

              The details of a VSAM data set.

              • alternateKeys (list) –

                The alternate key definitions, if any. A legacy dataset might not have any alternate key defined, but if those alternate keys definitions exist, provide them as some applications will make use of them.

                • (dict) –

                  Defines an alternate key. This value is optional. A legacy data set might not have any alternate key defined but if those alternate keys definitions exist, provide them, as some applications will make use of them.

                  • allowDuplicates (boolean) –

                    Indicates whether the alternate key values are supposed to be unique for the given data set.
