Registering a Workflow Type
---------------------------
To register a Workflow type with the AWS CLI, use the ``swf register-workflow-type`` command::
aws swf register-workflow-type --domain DataFrobtzz --name "MySimpleWorkflow" --workflow-version "v1"
If successful, the command returns no result. On an error (for example, if you try to register the same workflow type
twice, or specify a domain that doesn't exist) you will get a response in JSON::
{
"message": "WorkflowType=[name=MySimpleWorkflow, version=v1]",
"__type": "com.amazonaws.swf.base.model#TypeAlreadyExistsFault"
}
The ``--domain``, ``--name`` and ``--workflow-version`` are required. You can also set the workflow description,
timeouts, and child workflow policy.
