Updating a workflow

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

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific 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.
