thingNamestringrequired

The name of the thing whose job execution will be deleted.

executionNumberintegerrequired

Query Params

forceboolean

(Optional) When true, you can delete a job execution which is "IN_PROGRESS". Otherwise, you can only delete a job execution which is in a terminal state ("SUCCEEDED", "FAILED", "REJECTED", "REMOVED" or "CANCELED") or an exception will occur. The default is false. <note> Deleting a job execution which is "IN_PROGRESS", will cause the device to be unable to access job information or update the job execution status. Use caution and ensure that the device is able to recover to a valid state. </note>

namespaceIdstring

The namespace used to indicate that a job is a customer-managed job. When you specify a value for this parameter, Amazon Web Services IoT Core sends jobs notifications to MQTT topics that contain the value in the following format. <code>$aws/things/THING_NAME/jobs/JOB_ID/notify-namespace-NAMESPACE_ID/</code> <note> The <code>namespaceId</code> feature is in public preview. </note>
