How to use Boto3 to reset the bookmark of job in AWS account
In this article, we will see how a user can reset the bookmark of a job present in ann AWS account.
Example
Reset the bookmark of a job available in an AWS Glue Data Catalog.
Problem Statement: Use boto3 library in Python to reset the bookmark of a job.
Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem
Step 1: Import boto3 and botocore exceptions to handle exceptions.
Step 2:
job_name is the parameter in this function.
Step 3: Create an AWS session using boto3 lib. Make sure region_name is mentioned in the default profile. If it is not mentioned, then explicitly pass the region_name while creating the session.
Step 4: Create an AWS client for glue.
Step 5: Now use reset_job_bookmark function and pass the parameter job_name as JobName.
Step 6: It returns a dictionary having the details of Job bookmark entry.
Step 7: Handle the generic exception if something went wrong while resetting the bookmark.
Example Code
The following code resets the bookmark of a job −
import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError
def reset_bookmark_of_a_job(job_name)
session = boto3.session.Session()
glue_client = session.client('glue')
try:
response = glue_client.reset_job_bookmark(JobName=job_name)
return response
except ClientError as e:
raise Exception("boto3 client error in reset_bookmark_of_a_job: " + e.__str__())
except Exception as e:
raise Exception("Unexpected error in reset_bookmark_of_a_job: " + e.__str__())
print(reset_bookmark_of_a_job("test_job"))Output
