Used by workers to tell the service that the ActivityTask identified by
the taskToken has failed with reason (if specified). The reason
and details appear in the ActivityTaskFailed event added to the
workflow history.
A task is considered open from the time that it is scheduled until it is
closed. Therefore a task is reported as open while a worker is
processing it. A task is closed after it has been specified in a call to
respond_activity_task_completed,
respond_activity_task_canceled,
RespondActivityTaskFailed, or the task has timed out.
Access Control
You can use IAM policies to control this action's access to Amazon SWF resources as follows:
Use a Resource element with the domain name to limit the action to
only specified domains.
Use an Action element to allow or deny permission to call this
action.
You cannot use an IAM policy to constrain this action's parameters.
If the caller doesn't have sufficient permissions to invoke the action,
or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the
action fails. The associated event attribute's cause parameter is set
to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details and example IAM policies, see
Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows
in the Amazon SWF Developer Guide.
swf_respond_activity_task_failed(taskToken, reason, details)[required] The taskToken of the ActivityTask.
taskToken is generated by the service and should be treated as an
opaque value. If the task is passed to another process, its taskToken
must also be passed. This enables it to provide its progress and respond
with results.
Description of the error that may assist in diagnostics.
Detailed information about the failure.
