Creating an Amazon S3 Import Job Using the AWS SDK for Java

To create an import request and print the response using Java

1. Create a properties file, AWSCredentials.properties and provide your Access Key ID and Secret Key value.

   Following is an example credentials file.

   accessKey:AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
   secretKey:wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYzEXAMPLEKEY

   Note, if your program can't find the properties file, be aware that the properties file must be saved in the same directory as the produced .class file. Thus, if your class is in a package, or if your IDE puts your .class files in a different location, you will have to determine the appropriate directory to save your properties file. Also, the path to your manifest file must be explicit, including the full path to the file (such as C:\\Users\\UserName\\MyManifest.txt).

2. Create a manifest file describing your job.

   For an example manifest, see Create Your First Amazon S3 Import Job.

3. Copy the following Java class to a file in your project.

   import java.io.BufferedReader;
   import java.io.FileReader;
   import java.io.IOException;
   import com.amazonaws.auth.PropertiesCredentials;
   import com.amazonaws.services.importexport.AmazonImportExportClient;
   import com.amazonaws.services.importexport.model.CreateJobRequest;
   import com.amazonaws.services.importexport.model.CreateJobResult;
   
   public class ImportCreateJobSample {
   	private static String manifestFilePath = "***Provide-Explicit-Manifest-File-Path***";
    
       public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { 	
             AmazonImportExportClient client =
               new AmazonImportExportClient(
                   new PropertiesCredentials(
                       ImportCreateJobSample.class.getResourceAsStream("AWSCredentials.properties")));
         
           String manifest = readManifestFile(manifestFilePath);
   
           CreateJobRequest createRequest = new CreateJobRequest().withManifest(manifest).withJobType("Import");
   
           // Call service.
           CreateJobResult createResult = client.createJob(createRequest);
   
           // Process result.
           System.out.println();
           System.out.println();
           System.out.println("********************************");
           System.out.println("* RECEIVED SUCCESSFUL RESPONSE *");
           System.out.println("********************************");
           System.out.println("jobId: " + createResult.getJobId());
           System.out.println("signature: " + createResult.getSignature());
           System.out.println("jobType: " + createResult.getJobType());
           System.out.println();
           System.out.println("*******************************************************");
           System.out.println("* signatureFileContents - write this to a file called *");
           System.out.println("* SIGNATURE in the root of your disk                  *");
           System.out.println("*******************************************************");
           System.out.println(createResult.getSignatureFileContents());
           System.out.println();
           System.out.println("********************************************");
           System.out.println("* SEND YOUR STORAGE DEVICE TO THIS ADDRESS *");
           System.out.println("********************************************");
           System.out.println(createResult.getAwsShippingAddress());
       }
   
       public static String readManifestFile(String filename) throws IOException {
           StringBuilder manifest = new StringBuilder();
   
           BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
           try {
               String line = null;
               while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
                   manifest.append(line);
                   manifest.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
               }
           } finally {
               input.close();
           }
           return manifest.toString();
       }
   }

4. Update the code by providing your manifest file path.

5. Run the code.

   The response includes all the information you need to ship your storage device to AWS.
