Updating a workflow

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View the description of the CLI command for updating a workflow:

   yc serverless workflow update --help
   

2. Get a list of workflows:

   yc serverless workflow list
   

   Result:

   workflows:
     - id: dfqdi6ic7c5j********
       folder_id: b1g681qpemb4********
       created_at: "2025-03-10T13:31:55.387059Z"
       name: workflow895
       status: ACTIVE
       log_options:
         folder_id: b1g681qpemb4********
     ...
     - id: dfqud9cbc4k5********
       folder_id: b1g681qpemb4********
       created_at: "2025-03-10T12:57:48.679682Z"
       name: workflow203
       status: ACTIVE
       log_options:
         folder_id: b1g681qpemb4********
   

3. In the command, specify the parameters to update, such as the workflow name:

   yc serverless workflow update \
     --yaml-spec <specification_file> \
     --name <workflow_name> \
     --new-name <new_workflow_name>
   

   Where:

   • --yaml-spec: Path to the YaWL specification file for the workflow, e.g., ./yawl-spec.json.
   • --name: Old workflow name.
   • --new-name: New workflow name.

   Result:

   id: dfqjl5hh5p90********
   folder_id: b1g681qpemb4********
   specification:
     spec_yaml: "yawl: ..."
   created_at: "2025-03-11T09:27:51.691990Z"
   name: renamed-workflow
   description: created via cli
   labels:
     owner: "admin"
     version: "alpha"
   status: ACTIVE
   log_options: {}
   service_account_id: aje4tpd9coa********
   network_id: enpm8v48ehcl********
   

To update a workflow, use the Update REST API method for the Workflows resource or the workflow/Update gRPC API call.
