name : register-domain.rst **Registering a Domain** You can use the AWS CLI to register new domains. Use the ``swf register-domain`` command. There are two required parameters, ``--name``, which takes the domain name, and ``--workflow-execution-retention-period-in-days``, which takes an integer to specify the number of days to retain workflow execution data on this domain, up to a maxium period of 90 days (for more information, see the `SWF FAQ <https://aws.amazon.com/swf/faqs/#retain_limit>`). Workflow execution data will not be retained after the specified number of days have passed. :: aws swf register-domain \ --name MyNeatNewDomain \ --workflow-execution-retention-period-in-days 0 "" When you register a domain, nothing is returned (""), but you can use ``swf list-domains`` or ``swf describe-domain`` to see the new domain. :: aws swf list-domains \ --registration-status REGISTERED { "domainInfos": [ { "status": "REGISTERED", "name": "DataFrobotz" }, { "status": "REGISTERED", "name": "MyNeatNewDomain" }, { "status": "REGISTERED", "name": "erontest" } ] } Using ``swf describe-domain``:: aws swf describe-domain --name MyNeatNewDomain { "domainInfo": { "status": "REGISTERED", "name": "MyNeatNewDomain" }, "configuration": { "workflowExecutionRetentionPeriodInDays": "0" } } See Also -------- - `RegisterDomain <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonswf/latest/apireference/API_RegisterDomain.html>`__ in the *Amazon Simple Workflow Service API Reference*
