IoT Platform:CreateOTADynamicUpgradeJob

更新時間:Nov 07, 2023

Creates a dynamic update batch.

Usage notes

  • You can specify that an update package does not need to be verified when you call the CreateOTAFirmware operation. Otherwise, you must make sure that the update package is verified before you call the CreateOTADynamicUpgradeJob operation to create an update batch. For more information about how to create a task to verify an update package, see CreateOTAVerifyJob.

  • Each device can be in the pending or updating status only in one update task. If you initiate another update task for a device that is in the pending or updating status, the update task fails.

  • Each update package can have only one dynamic update task that is in the running state.

  • If a device is included in dynamic update policies of different update packages, the device performs the latest dynamic update.

  • After a dynamic update job is created, the system automatically creates the corresponding dynamic update policy. You can call the CancelOTAStrategyByJob operation to cancel a dynamic update policy.

  • Only devices in the China (Shanghai) region can download update packages over the MQTT protocol.

QPS limits

Each Alibaba Cloud account can run a maximum of 20 queries per second (QPS).

Note

The Resource Access Management (RAM) users of an Alibaba Cloud account share the quota of the account.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

IotInstanceId

String

No

iot-cn-0pp1n8t****

The ID of the instance. You can view the ID of an instance on the Overview page in the IoT Platform console.

Important
  • If your instance has an ID, you must specify the ID for this parameter. If you do not specify the instance ID, the call fails.

  • If no ID is generated for your instance, you do not need to configure this parameter.

For more information, see Overview.

SrcVersion.N

RepeatList

No

V1.0.1

The list of firmware versions to be updated.

  • If you specify this parameter, do not specify the GroupId and GroupType parameters.

  • If you do not specify this parameter, you must specify the GroupId and GroupType parameters.

Note
  • If you use differential update packages to perform dynamic update tasks based on versions, the value of this parameter must be the same as the value of SrcVersion.

    If you use differential update packages to perform dynamic update tasks on dynamic groups, you do not need to specify this parameter.

  • You can call the QueryDeviceDetail operation and view the FirmwareVersion parameter in the response.

  • The version numbers must be unique in the list.

  • You can specify a maximum of 30 version numbers.

RetryInterval

Integer

No

60

The automatic retry interval if a device fails to be updated. Unit: minutes. Valid values:

  • 0: An automatic retry is immediately performed.

  • 10: An automatic retry is performed after 10 minutes.

  • 30: An automatic retry is performed after 30 minutes.

  • 60: An automatic retry is performed after 60 minutes (1 hour).

  • 1440: An automatic retry is performed after 1,440 minutes (24 hours).

Important

The value of the RetryInterval parameter must be less than the value of the TimeoutInMinutes parameter. Examples:

  • If the value of the TimeoutInMinutes parameter is set to 60, the maximum value of the RetryInterval parameter is 30.

  • If the value of the TimeoutInMinutes parameter is set to 1440, the maximum value of the RetryInterval parameter is 60.

If the value of the RetryInterval parameter is set to 1440, we recommend that you do not specify the TimeoutInMinutes parameter. If an update times out, no retry is performed.

If you do not specify this parameter, no retry is performed.

RetryCount

Integer

No

1

The number of automatic retries.

If you specify the RetryInterval parameter, you must specify this parameter.

Valid values:

  • 1: retries once.

  • 2: retries twice.

  • 5: retries five times.

TimeoutInMinutes

Integer

No

1440

The timeout period of the update. If the device is not updated within the specified period, a timeout error occurs. Unit: minutes. Valid values: 1 to 1440.

Note
  • The timeout period starts from the time when the specified device submits the update progress for the first time. During the update, the update package may be repeatedly pushed to the specified device because the device goes online and offline multiple times. The start time of the update period remains unchanged.

  • If an update fails due to timeout, no retry is triggered.

If you do not specify this parameter, timeout errors do not occur.

MaximumPerMinute

Integer

No

1000

The maximum number of devices to which the download URL of the update package is pushed per minute. Valid values: 10 to 10000.

Default value: 10000.

OverwriteMode
