FLAGS
JOB INFORMATION
--status=STATUS
Specify this flag to change the status of the job. Options include 'enabled','disabled', 'deleted'.STATUS must be one of:deleted,disabled,enabled.
--source=SOURCE
The source of your data. Available sources and formatting information:

Public clouds -

POSIX filesystem - Specify theposix:// scheme followed by theabsolute path to the desired directory, starting from the root of the hostmachine (denoted by a leading slash). For example:

  • posix:///path/directory/

A file transfer agent must be installed on the POSIX filesystem, and you need anagent pool flag on thisjobs command to activate the agent.

Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) - Specify thehdfs:// schemefollowed by the absolute path to the desired directory, starting from the rootof the file system (denoted by a leading slash). For example:

  • hdfs:///path/directory/

Namenode details should not be included in the path specification, as they arerequired separately during the agent installation process.

A file transfer agent must be installed, and you need an agent pool flag on thisjobs command to activate the agent.

Publicly-accessible objects - Specify the URL of a TSV file containing a list ofURLs of publicly-accessible objects. For example:

--destination=DESTINATION
The destination of your transferred data. Available destinations and formattinginformation:

Google Cloud Storage - Specify thegs:// scheme; name of thebucket; and, if transferring to a folder, the path to the folder. For example:

  • gs://example-bucket/example-folder/

POSIX filesystem - Specify theposix:// scheme followed by theabsolute path to the desired directory, starting from the root of the hostmachine (denoted by a leading slash). For example:

  • posix:///path/directory/

A file transfer agent must be installed on the POSIX filesystem, and you need anagent pool flag on thisjobs command to activate the agent.

--clear-description
Remove the description from the transfer job.
--clear-source-creds-file
Remove the source creds file from the transfer job.

--description=DESCRIPTION
An optional description to help identify the job using details that don't fit inits name.
--source-creds-file=SOURCE_CREDS_FILE
Path to a local file on your machine that includes credentials for an Amazon S3or Azure Blob Storage source (not required for Google Cloud Storage sources). Ifnot specified for an S3 source, gcloud will check your system for an AWS configfile. However, this flag must be specified to use AWS's "role_arn" auth service.For formatting, see:

S3:https://cloud.google.com/storage-transfer/docs/reference/rest/v1/TransferSpec#AwsAccessKeyNote: Be sure to put quotations around the JSON value strings.

Azure:https://cloud.google.com/storage-transfer/docs/reference/rest/v1/TransferSpec#AzureCredentials

If using a POSIX filesystem source, specify the ID of the agent pool associatedwith source filesystem.
--destination-agent-pool=DESTINATION_AGENT_POOL
If using a POSIX filesystem destination, specify the ID of the agent poolassociated with destination filesystem.
--intermediate-storage-path=INTERMEDIATE_STORAGE_PATH
If transferring between filesystems, specify the path to a folder in a GoogleCloud Storage bucket (gs://example-bucket/example-folder) to use as intermediarystorage. Recommended: Use an empty folder reserved for this transfer job toensure transferred data doesn't interact with any of your existing Cloud Storagedata.
--manifest-file=MANIFEST_FILE
Path to a .csv file containing a list of files to transfer from your source. Formanifest files in Cloud Storage, specify the absolute path (e.g.,gs://mybucket/manifest.csv). For manifest files stored in a sourceor destination POSIX file system, provide the relative path (e.g.,source://path/to/manfest.csv ordestination://path/to/manifest.csv). For manifest file formatting,seehttps://cloud.google.com/storage-transfer/docs/manifest.
EVENT STREAM

Configure an event stream to transfer data whenever it is added or changed atyour source, enabling you to act on the data in near real time. Thisevent-driven transfer execution mode is available for transfers from GoogleCloud Storage and Amazon S3. For formatting information, seehttps://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/datetimes.

--event-stream-name=EVENT_STREAM_NAME
Specify an event stream that Storage Transfer Service can use to listen for whenobjects are created or updated. For Google Cloud Storage sources, specify aCloud Pub/Sub subscription, using format"projects/yourproject/subscriptions/yoursubscription". For Amazon S3 sources,specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)queue using format "arn:aws:sqs:region:account_id:queue_name".
--event-stream-starts=EVENT_STREAM_STARTS
Set when to start listening for events UTC using the %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%zdatetime format (e.g., 2020-04-12T06:42:12+04:00). If not set, the job willstart running and listening for events upon the successful submission of thecreate job command.
--event-stream-expires=EVENT_STREAM_EXPIRES
Set when to stop listening for events UTC using the %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z datetimeformat (e.g., 2020-04-12T06:42:12+04:00). If not set, the job will continuerunning and listening for events indefinitely.
--clear-event-stream
Remove the job's entire event stream configuration by clearing all schedulingall event stream flags. The job will no longer listen for events unless a newconfiguratin is specified.
SCHEDULE

A job's schedule determines when and how often the job will run. For formattinginformation, seehttps://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/datetimes.

--clear-schedule
Remove the job's entire schedule by clearing all scheduling flags. The job willno longer run unless an operation is manually started or a new schedule isspecified.
--schedule-starts=SCHEDULE_STARTS
Set when the job will start using the %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z datetime format (e.g.,2020-04-12T06:42:12+04:00). If not set, the job will run upon the successfulsubmission of the create job command unless the --do-not-run flag is included.
--schedule-repeats-every=SCHEDULE_REPEATS_EVERY
Set the frequency of the job using the absolute duration format (e.g., 1 monthis p1m; 1 hour 30 minutes is 1h30m). If not set, the job will run once.
--schedule-repeats-until=SCHEDULE_REPEATS_UNTIL
Set when the job will stop recurring using the %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z datetimeformat (e.g., 2020-04-12T06:42:12+04:00). If specified, you must also include avalue for the --schedule-repeats-every flag. If not specified, the job willcontinue to repeat as specified in its repeat-every field unless the job ismanually disabled or you add this field later.
OBJECT CONDITIONS

A set of conditions to determine which objects are transferred. For time-basedobject condition formatting tips, seehttps://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/datetimes.Note: If you specify multiple conditions, objects must have at least one of thespecified 'include' prefixes and all of the specified time conditions. If anobject has an 'exclude' prefix, it will be excluded even if it matches otherconditions.

--clear-include-prefixes
Remove the list of object prefixes to include from the object conditions.
--clear-exclude-prefixes
Remove the list of object prefixes to exclude from the object conditions.

Include objects last modified after an absolute date/time. Ex. by specifying'2020-01-01', the transfer would include objects last modified after January 1,2020. Use the %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z datetime format.
--include-modified-before-relative=INCLUDE_MODIFIED_BEFORE_RELATIVE
Include objects that were modified before a relative date/time in the past. Ex.by specifying a duration of '10d', the transfer would include objects lastmodifiedmore than 10 days before its start time. Use the absoluteduration format (ex. 1m for 1 month; 1h30m for 1 hour 30 minutes).
--include-modified-after-relative=INCLUDE_MODIFIED_AFTER_RELATIVE
Include objects that were modified after a relative date/time in the past. Ex.by specifying a duration of '10d', the transfer would include objects lastmodifiedless than 10 days before its start time. Use the absoluteduration format (ex. 1m for 1 month; 1h30m for 1 hour 30 minutes).
