Class TransactWriteItemsRequest

Namespace
Amazon.DynamoDBv2.Model
Assembly
AWSSDK.DynamoDBv2.dll

Container for the parameters to the TransactWriteItems operation.

TransactWriteItems
is a synchronous write operation that groups up to

100 action requests. These actions can target items in different tables, but not in different Amazon Web Services accounts or Regions, and no two actions can target the same item. For example, you cannot both

ConditionCheck
and
Update
the same item. The aggregate size of the items in the transaction cannot exceed 4 MB.

The actions are completed atomically so that either all of them succeed, or all of them fail. They are defined by the following objects:

  • Put
     —   Initiates a
    PutItem
    operation to write a new item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be written, the name of the table to write it in, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the write to succeed, a list of the item's attributes, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item's attributes if the condition is not met.
  • Update
     —   Initiates an
    UpdateItem
    operation to update an existing item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be updated, the name of the table where it resides, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the update to succeed, an expression that defines one or more attributes to be updated, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item's attributes if the condition is not met.
  • Delete
     —   Initiates a
    DeleteItem
    operation to delete an existing item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be deleted, the name of the table where it resides, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the deletion to succeed, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item's attributes if the condition is not met.
  • ConditionCheck
     —   Applies a condition to an item that is not being modified by the transaction. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be checked, the name of the table where it resides, a condition expression that must be satisfied for the transaction to succeed, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item's attributes if the condition is not met.

DynamoDB rejects the entire

TransactWriteItems
request if any of the following is true:
  • A condition in one of the condition expressions is not met.

  • An ongoing operation is in the process of updating the same item.

  • There is insufficient provisioned capacity for the transaction to be completed.

  • An item size becomes too large (bigger than 400 KB), a local secondary index (LSI) becomes too large, or a similar validation error occurs because of changes made by the transaction.

  • The aggregate size of the items in the transaction exceeds 4 MB.

  • There is a user error, such as an invalid data format.

Properties

ClientRequestToken

Gets and sets the property ClientRequestToken.

Providing a

ClientRequestToken
makes the call to
TransactWriteItems
idempotent, meaning that multiple identical calls have the same effect as one single call.

Although multiple identical calls using the same client request token produce the same result on the server (no side effects), the responses to the calls might not be the same. If the

ReturnConsumedCapacity>
parameter is set, then the initial
TransactWriteItems
call returns the amount of write capacity units consumed in making the changes. Subsequent
TransactWriteItems
calls with the same client token return the number of read capacity units consumed in reading the item.

A client request token is valid for 10 minutes after the first request that uses it is completed. After 10 minutes, any request with the same client token is treated as a new request. Do not resubmit the same request with the same client token for more than 10 minutes, or the result might not be idempotent.

If you submit a request with the same client token but a change in other parameters within the 10-minute idempotency window, DynamoDB returns an

IdempotentParameterMismatch
exception.
public string ClientRequestToken { get; set; }

Property Value

string

ReturnConsumedCapacity

Gets and sets the property ReturnConsumedCapacity.

public ReturnConsumedCapacity ReturnConsumedCapacity { get; set; }

Property Value

ReturnConsumedCapacity

ReturnItemCollectionMetrics

Gets and sets the property ReturnItemCollectionMetrics.

Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to

SIZE
, the response includes statistics about item collections (if any), that were modified during the operation and are returned in the response. If set to
NONE
(the default), no statistics are returned.
public ReturnItemCollectionMetrics ReturnItemCollectionMetrics { get; set; }

Property Value

ReturnItemCollectionMetrics

TransactItems

Gets and sets the property TransactItems.

An ordered array of up to 100

TransactWriteItem
objects, each of which contains a
ConditionCheck
,
Put
,
Update
, or
Delete
object. These can operate on items in different tables, but the tables must reside in the same Amazon Web Services account and Region, and no two of them can operate on the same item.
public List<TransactWriteItem> TransactItems { get; set; }

Property Value

List<TransactWriteItem>
