UpdateForwardingRules - Global Accelerator - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Updates a forwarding rule.

Operation description

UpdateForwardingRules is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call the ListForwardingRules operation to query the status of a forwarding rule.
- If the forwarding rule is in the configuring state, it indicates that the forwarding rule is being modified. In this case, you can perform only query operations.
- If the forwarding rule is in the active state, it indicates that the forwarding rule is modified.
The UpdateForwardingRules operation holds an exclusive lock on the Global Accelerator (GA) instance. While the operation is in progress, you cannot call the same operation in the same Alibaba Cloud account.

Debugging
