Amazon Kinesis Get Stream
The Get Stream activity is used to get a shard iterator or records from a data stream.
Configuration
On the Configuration tab, you can define the Amazon Kinesis connection and the record you want to get from the data stream.
| Field | Description |

| AWS Connection | Select the connection that you want to use from the dropdown list. |
| Stream Type | Select the type stream to get record from the dropdown list. |
| Get Type | Select the type of record that you want to get from the dropdown list. |
Input
The input tree displayed for this activity depends on the object that you have selected on the Configuration tab. You can enter the input manually. Alternatively, if the preceding activity has an output, you can map the input to the output from a preceding activity.
Output
The Output tab displays the output schema of the activity in a tree structure format. The output is read only. The information in the schema varies based on the fields selected on the Configuration tab. The properties that are displayed in the schema correspond to the output of this activity and can be used as input by subsequent activities in the flow. The Output tab has the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Message | Message is a success response received from kinesis service along with Stream details. |
| Error | Error contains error code, status code, requestId, and error message received from kinesis service. |
Loop
If you want this activity to iterate multiple times within the flow, enter an expression that evaluates the iteration details. Select a type of iteration from the Type menu. The default type is None, which means the activity does not iterate. For more information, see Using the Loop Feature in an Activity.
